Enjoy the great outdoors overnight at the Great Plains Zoo with our new Zoo Family Camp Outs!

We’ll pitch our tents near the Rare Rhinos exhibit and enjoy animal encounters, a fire pit and evening snack, and an after dark tour of the Zoo! In the morning, we’ll have a light breakfast, meet more ambassador animals, and take another tour before the Zoo opens.

Zoo Family Camp Outs are appropriate for families with kids ages 6 and up. One adult can accompany up to five children; everyone ages 17 and under must have a responsible adult with them at the event. Each participant must be registered to attend, including adults.

Pricing:

Ages 13 and up: $35 members/$40 non-members

Ages 6-12: $25 members/$30 non-members

*Non-member registration includes Zoo admission after the program concludes.

Advanced registration is required. Registration closes 4 days before the program begins.

Upcoming Dates:

Friday, May 7 – Saturday, May 8

Family Camp Outs begin at 8 p.m. and end at 10 a.m. the next morning.

Families will need to provide their own tent and bedding, and are encouraged to bring folding camp or lawn chairs. A full list of what to bring will be sent to all participants in advance of the program.
