Wild Nights at Adelaide Zoo

Be awakened by the roar of lions and the jungle calls of gibbons!

Wild Nights is the exciting overnight program at Adelaide Zoo, where you sleep in tents under the stars, overlooking the spectacular sights of the Zoo, the River Torrens and the parklands. 

The tents contain camping mattresses, but participants bring their own pillows and sleeping bags.

The program commences at 6.30pm in the evening and finishes at 9am the next morning. During the night, there will be the chance to have an Animal Encounter, enjoy a delicious evening meal, night walks around the Zoo and a camping experience on the rooftop garden of the Westpac Enviro Dome.

The next morning, you will eat a healthy continental breakfast and have an animal experience before being able to visit the Zoo for the rest of day at your leisure.

Wild Nights nights are available for up to 20 people in 3 formats:

  1. Family Nights (for adults and children aged 5-17)
  2. Adults-only Nights (must be over 18 years of age)
