7/15 - Summer Nights

When the sun sets, the zoo takes on a different light. The animals of the dark move skillfully under the night and the stars.  We invite you to attend the Akron Zoo’s newest nighttime experience, Summer Nights!

• Summer Nights activities include animal encounters, crafts, activities, s'mores and even a behind-the-scenes tour to visit the bedrooms of some of our animals!
• This event will take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Please be prepared to arrive 10 minutes early to ensure we can start on time. 
• Guest are encouraged to wear their family friendly pajamas and comfortable walking/hiking shoes, since we will be traveling up to Grizzly Ridge.
• Summer Nights will still take place rain, snow or shine. All program activities will take place outdoors, so please make sure all clothing is weather-appropriate.
• A snack of s'mores will be provided during this program. We can also provide a snack free from gluten, wheat, dairy and egg for guests with food allergies or sensitivities.

All sales are final. Program tickets are nonrefundable, non-transferable and are not able to be rescheduled or applied to other visit dates. 

Akron Zoo member discounts will appear once tickets have been added to your cart. Please make sure to log in and then continue to check-out to view your discount.

We do have a new online system and all guests, including Akron Zoo members, will need to create a new account if you have not done so already after March 1, 2019. After creating an account, make sure you are logged in.
