2. Zoo After Dark | July 27th | Cincinnati Zoo

   A truly one-of-a-kind experience, these overnights make a great date night, friend group outing, or (adult) family adventure! An interactive social hour will start the night with two drink tickets, light bites from Urban Stead Cheese, strange zoo games, and a visit from a unique animal. Then, we will break out into small tour groups led by Zoo Educators to traverse through Africa. On our Zoo safari, we will go behind the scenes of Hippo Cove and uncover the secrets of our world-famous bloat. We’ll finish up our night at our Twiga Tents, gathered around a roaring campfire roasting smores. Then, this unique adventure ends with a relaxing night in our safari tents on cozy cots and waking up to breakfast overlooking Giraffe Ridge.
