Spend the night at the Detroit Zoo with your school or group at a Safari Slumber.
When the last guest leaves for the day, we invite you to stay! Step into a world of wonder as the sun sets and the Zoo transforms into a realm of nocturnal activity. With exclusive access to the Zoo after hours, participants embark on guided tours, learn more about the fascinating lives of animals that thrive under the cover of darkness and end their night gathered around the campfire.
