Ready, set, let’s roll! Get glowing on this 8.2 mile slow bicycle ride, starting at the Zoo and rolling south on River Road, then back to the Zoo for a behind-the-scenes look before ending at Main Plaza. After the ride, enjoy food and beverage specials, listen to live music around the fire pits, visit nocturnal animals and flashlight fish in the aquarium, or take a stroll to preview the Harvest Fest pumpkin displays.
This twilight trek is led by the Toledo Zoo security team on bicycle and a support vehicle will follow to ensure rider safety.
