Night Camps - Spend a Wild Night at the Phoenix Zoo!

Our incredibly popular Night Camps are an experience that can't be missed. From 6:45 p.m. to 9:00 the following morning, you will have an experience at the Zoo like no other! Night Camps are hosted every night, all year long.

These overnight adventures include up close interactions with animals, hands-on activities, night hikes, snacks, breakfast and more.

Camps make great field trips, scout outings and family adventures! Each program is packed with fun and informative games and activities about plants, animals, biology and science. Our Group Night Camp programs align with the Arizona Department of Education Academic Content Standards.

Prices range from $30-$60 per camper, depending on the camp variety, and includes admission to the Zoo. For prices and additional information or to make a reservation, call 602 914.4333.

  • Nocturnal Animals: Come discover animals of the night. Program may include bats, owls, invertebrates and other nocturnal animals at the Zoo.
  • Desert Animals: This program focuses on the connections among people, plants and animals living in Arizona. Featured animals may include a desert tortoise, snakes, scorpions and owls.
  • Endangered Species: Placing a special emphasis on conservation, this camp introduces the concept of interdependence among living things. Featured animals may include boa constrictor, iguana, cockatoo and Madagascar hissing cockroach.
  • Scout Camps: We can structure camps to accommodate scout badge work. Patches can be pre-ordered.
  • Wilderness Experience: An authentic camping experience at lakeside in tents provided by the Zoo. Interact with animals; enjoy dinner at lakeside and guided hikes through the Zoo grounds. In the morning we will wake you up to the sounds of spider monkeys and waterfowl. After a delicious breakfast, take a private shuttle tour of the Zoo.
  • Twilight Camps: Perfect for our younger visitors! Shorter versions of Night Camp, these camps have you home by 10:30! Get a full evening at the Zoo starting with a private shuttle tour, then on to animal encounters, activities, and guided trail hikes with surprise animal feedings! Sorry, no overnighters.
