Global Warming

Global warming is real and a threat to the world's animal population. The year 2004 was the fourth hottest on record, extending a trend since 1990. If we continue to emit greenhouse gases at our current pace, our earth's temperature is projected to skyrocket by as much as 10º F in the next 100 years.

Enter a world long kept in the dark--encounter the Zoo at night. Our overnight program will let you experience what most zoo visitors can only imagine. Upon arrival, campers participate in hands-on activities and an animal presentation. Back in our themed buildings, campers take a quick break to refuel before braving the unknown on a flashlight safari. After a good night's sleep, overnighters awaken to the sounds of the Zoo at daybreak and enjoy a continental breakfast. So throw on your sneakers, bring a sleeping bag and dare to see an alligator's lair during these action-packed sleepovers. Overnights are ideal for clubs, organizations, scout groups, and birthday parties! For more information and to register, please call 321.254.9453 x 219 or email edregistrar@brevardzoo.org.
