Overnight Campouts
Looking for a new adventure for your scout troop or youth group, or just wanting to plan a fun getaway with your family or friends?
Spend a wild night right here at the Topeka Zoo with our Zoo Snooze overnight campouts. Campouts are filled with behind-the-scenes tours, scavenger hunts, animal visitors, night hikes and more!
Guests may spend the night in the open-air Security Benefit Pavilion (weather permitting) or inside the Gary K. Clarke Education Center. Campouts begin at 6 p.m. and end at 8 a.m. the next morning. A bedtime snack and breakfast are provided. Campers must provide their own dinner, flashlights and sleeping bags.
Campouts are designed for children ages 4 and older. Campers under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. A minimum of 15 guests is required. Registration is $30 per person for FOTZ members and $35 per person for nonmembers. For more information or to schedule your Zoo Snooze Campout, contact our Education Department at 785.368.9180.
