Forests After Dark – Family at the Minnesota Zoo


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 06/15/2018
As the sun sets and the stars come out, the forest changes…our new overnight program at the Minnesota Zoo is all about the amazing animals of the northern forests, from Minnesota to Alaska, as dusk turns to nightfall. What happens between dusk and dawn, at the Zoo and in the wild? During our packed program, you and your family will get to see our enormous grizzly bears up close, prepare a special treat for them, and talk to zoo keepers. Walk the Minnesota Trail after hours to see our wolves, coyotes, and more; work on activities and challenges to learn more about life after dark and at dawn; and learn more about life at the 48th parallel. This overnight is epic!
