ZooLights Overnight

We are hosting a ZooLights Family Overnight at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. Families will enjoy all the fun of ZooLights, but with an added twist! Start your evening with a pizza party dinner, visit with an animal ambassador, and festive craft. From there, enjoy all the wonders of ZooLights as you explore the Zoo, but with your very own scavenger hunt ending with a special prize. After you walk the Zoo, cozy up for a winter book led by the Zoos' very own story tellers. From there, make yourselves comfortable in one of our climate-controlled classrooms for bedtime.
