Scouts & Overnights Reservation

What goes on in the Zoo once the guests leave? Join us for an Overnight Adventure at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo and find out for yourself! Learn about the new programs that are designed for Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, schools, and other youth organizations. This is a very special experience that you are sure to remember!

Spend the night at the Zoo with your troop or group and make new friends–both human and animal–as we join together for a night filled with fun and exciting encounters led by a trained Education Staff member. You may even earn a badge or patch as you learn about our animals during a private behind-the-scenes tour, meeting animals up-close, and participate in many other exciting activities throughout the night. Take a walk on the wild side during a fun night hike around the Zoo, and discover which animals like to play in the dark!

Overnight Adventures begin at 7 p.m. and concludes at 9 a.m. the following morning. The cost is $30 per youth and $15 per adult. Cost includes all programming supplies, activities, light snack in the evening, donuts/juice in the morning, and experienced Education Staff member. There is always the option to design your own Overnight Experience and choose your date!

Sign your group of 10 or more up today. Contact the education staff with questions, availability, or to create your own overnight by calling 402.475.6741 ext. 130 or register today!
