Girl Scout Cadettes (Studio 2B) Snooze at the Zoo
Zoo 101
If you love animals and enjoy spending the night out, then Snooze at the Zoo is an adventure you won't want to miss!
During this overnight you will experience different animal care aspects that help to keep the Zoo running and keep our animals healthy. You will simulate a few keeper, vet, and curator duties and try to run a Zoo while playing Zoo traders.
Overnight evening activities will include a live animal encounter, rotations through four exciting activities, an evening pizza snack (with a soft drink), a night hike around Zoo grounds, and a flashlight tour of the Herpetarium. The morning portion of the overnight adventure includes a continental breakfast, a morning stroll around Zoo grounds to see the animals wake up, a souvenir Zoo patch and glow-in-the-dark overnight cup!

Do You Have a Mixed Age Group of Scouts?
If you have a scout troop/pack/den that has multiple age levels and our Snooze at the Zoo programs do not match your needs, you can schedule your own private scout overnight. When you schedule your own overnight we use the themes which we are currently offering but tailor them to match your needs. These overnights cost $35 per person and we require a minimum of 30 participants (this total includes scouts and adults) and a maximum of 60 participants.
