Roar and Snore
Be awakened by the roar of the lions at the wildest slumber party around!
Roar & Snore is a popular and exciting overnight program
Your overnight Zoo experience begins with refreshments on arrival at the Education Centre. This is followed by an opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the Zoo's friendliest creatures.
After an outback dinner you can hike through the Zoo on a night safari, led by a Zoo educator, to sneak a nocturnal peak at the animals. As a Roar & Snore camper, you'll sleep in a four-person safari tent (provided) pitched under the stars. You will rise to the warbles, rumbles, squeaks, growls and roars of the animals greeting the day. Your wildlife adventure continues with breakfast before a two-hour behind-the-scenes walk. You are also welcome to spend the next day exploring the Zoo during the daylight hours.
Roar & Snore is an ideal adventure for families, friends or social clubs, or employee incentive and training groups. In addition to our regular program we can offer our corporate clients access to breakout rooms where training or lectures can occur (additional hire fees may apply).
