Participants must be at least six years old and weigh no more than 200 pounds. \nFriends and family members are encouraged to join in the experience and zip alongside their loved ones during these special events.

This year’s dates are: \n\nMay 23\nJune 20\nJuly 18\nAugust 15\nSeptember 19\n\n“Twilight Tours have quickly become a fan-favorite experience\,” says Nathaniel Wagner\, Adventure Park Supervisor. “Guests have really enjoyed being here in the evening hours\, when the Zoo itself is closed.

The experience provides a perfect view of the African lions and the snow leopards. Snow leopard Ahava seems to love interacting with guests on Twilight Tours\, often jumping up to the top of the rock pile to be practically face-to-face with people\, where she can watch and follow them\, even running back and forth a bit. \nTickets for the Twilight Tours will be available at the Adventure Park’s Base Camp Building at the time of the events. The final tour each evening will depart at 7:30 p.m. Regular prices for the Canopy Tour will apply: Adults – $8; Seniors (62+) and Kids (3-15) – $6; and Kids under 3 – Free.

Each dog must have an adult (human!) companion in attendance: a minimum of one adult guest per dog is required.

Documentation must be uploaded no later than one week prior to the date of the event. Dogs that do not have proof of vaccination on file by the deadline will be unable to enter the Zoo. If your dog attended a previous event and your paperwork remains up-to-date\, you do not need to re-submit the paperwork as we will keep it on file until it expires.  \nPlease note that dogs are not permitted in the adjacent Reforestation Camp properties. \n\n\n\nTickets are on sale now and dog ticket quantities are limited:\n\n\n\nJune 23 Dog Tickets Sold Out\nBuy July 21 Dog Tickets\nBuy August 18 Dog Tickets\n  \n  Can’t make it to this event but want to know when we host the next dog events?
