Group Twilight Safaris are offered during the fall and spring each year to organized groups of 10 to 40, ages 7 and up. Your Twilight Safari will include an after-hours tour of ZooNorth and an opportunity to see some of our Education animals up-close. Are you a family group? We have designated special “family only” dates for you (see below).

Group Twilight Safaris begin at 7 p.m. and end at 10:00 p.m. We require one adult chaperone per ten participants.
