The Zoo's most popular overnight, chock full of fun and adventure, Night Flight is a program built for groups with children from 5 to 12 years of age. Families, scouts, YMCA, school, or church group are invited to experience the Zoo after dark!
Night Flighters hike the Zoo in the dark, meet an animal keeper and more! Evening snack, continental breakfast, commemorative Philadelphia Zoo patch, Night Flight souvenir and admission to the Zoo the following day is included in this program. This overnight program is perfect for scouts and other youth groups!
Save Energy to Save Wildlife! When you turn off water while brushing your teeth, unplug phone chargers, and recycle plastic water bottles, you are saving wildlife. Nighttime visitors to Treehouse will become Wildlife Warriors taking part in fun games and activities to save frogs, polar bears, and butterflies. Scouts are encouraged to make their voice heard and help spread the word on how others can help too!
Special thanks to Cub Pack 1 from Monmouth Council for putting together a video of their Night Flight experience. Check out the fun they had while exploring the Zoo!
