Fall Zzzoofari Slumber

Your family can experience the magic of sleeping right at the Nashville Zoo—pitching a tent and settling in for the night with animals resting nearby. This overnight adventure works wonderfully for families with children ages 4 through 12. The evening fills with activities like exploring animal habitats after regular guests leave, catching an animal presentation, enjoying the Jungle Gym, and taking free rides on attractions like the carousel and zip line. A campfire-style dinner and bedtime stories add to the cozy atmosphere before lights out at 9:30 pm. The next morning starts with a continental breakfast, then you'll have time to pack up before the zoo opens to daytime visitors at 9 am. Here's the best part: your event wristband grants your entire family free zoo admission all day Sunday, giving you plenty of time to explore at your own pace. Ticket pricing varies by membership status and age—members pay $45 per child (ages 4+) or $25 for toddlers (ages 2–3), while non-members pay $65 and $45 respectively. A portion of every ticket sale supports the zoo's conservation programs. Currently, this event is sold out, but you can check back for availability or a waitlist.
