Ever wonder what happens at the Zoo after hours and the lights go out? Bring your friends, family, and flashlight for this guided tour of the zoo as the sun goes down. Participants will tour an area of the Zoo* and engage in fun planned activities.

Maryland is a truly diverse place, from the western mountains and forests, to the sandy wetlands and beaches of the eastern shore. Join us after dark to learn all about what makes these habitats, and the critters that call them home, so amazing!

*Please note: Not all animal areas are visited due to the late hour or special circumstances.
