Sleepover with the Animals

Update: Registration for this event has now closed! Interested in sleeping among Lincoln Park Zoo’s amazing animals? Grab your nighttime gear and join us for an indoor overnight adventure for families and groups with children ages 5–12! The evening begins with dinner, and then you’re off to explore a few of the buildings after hours, checking in on some of the zoo’s residents as they prepare for their nighttime routines. Catch a late-night look at the lynx outside the Kovler Lion House, sneak a peek at the sloth in Regenstein Small Mammal-Reptile House and learn how the zoo is helping conserve species in Chicago and all over the world! Travel around with zoo experts as your guides and take home fun facts to share with friends and family. Wind down at the end of the night with snacks, games and stories as you settle in to sleep next to some of the coolest creatures around! Participants can choose to attend just the evening activities OR they can stay for the entire program and sleep over at the zoo.
