Did you know you could spend the night at the Zoo? It's called Rising Waters Safari Camp and it's an African-themed overnight adventure in which campers stay in the Zoo's African Savanna!

The Rising Waters Safari Camp program combines elements of African culture, such as the making of tribal masks and a story circle, with conservation-oriented activities and a visit with some of the Zoo's smaller African animals. Night hikes, snacks, and fun (and free Zoo admission following the program!) make Rising Waters a memorable experience for kids of all ages.
