Zoo Snoozin'
The Zoo Snoozin' program at The
Toledo Zoo is an opportunity for groups of children and their
chaperones to see another side of the Zoo, plus share adventures
with animals, educators, animal keepers, friends and classmates.
Snoozers will b immersed in the environment of the Zoo at night
and have the treat of being at the Zoo when no one else is!
What Happens At A Zoo Snooze?
A snooze lasts from 7:00 p.m. in the evening until
9:30-10:00 a.m. the next day. Snooze visitors are invited to return
when the Zoo opens and spend the day at no additional charge.
Who's Invited?
- Any group of children aged 6 years and older
accompanied by adult chaperones.
- Groups of people who love animals, adventure
and learning new things
- Ideal for school classes, scout troops, clubs,
home school groups, church groups and more!
Security
Zoo security guards are on grounds all night. At least two adult
guides will be present. These guides are teachers, scientists and
wildlife workers with many years of experience leading and supervising
children. Your group leader will receive detailed information, including
all necessary forms and answers to frequently asked questions in
a confirmation packet when your deposit is received. This information
should provide helpful insights and will also define rules and expectations
for a safe and rewarding Zoo experience.
Sleeping Arrangements
Groups sleep on the floor in a common area, usually an exhibit space.
Each child should bring their own sleeping bag and pillow.
| Note:
It is the policy of The Toledo Zoo that opposite gender parents,
chaperones and/or participants in mixed gender groups sleep
in separate areas. Please make arrangements for chaperoning
the children during sleeping hours to comply with this policy.
This policy will be enforced unless other satisfactory arrangements
have been made with and approved by the Special Programs Coordinator
prior to your Snooze. |
