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. 

All guests, including Akron Zoo members, will need to create a zoo website account if you have not done so already. Please make sure to log in and then continue to check-out. Akron Zoo member discounts will only appear if you are logged in, the tickets have been added to the cart and you continued to the check-out.
