Overnights at SF Zoo – San Francisco, Ca

One night at the SF Zoo will awaken all those senses as you camp in the heart of the city. Kids will get to smell the ocean, listen to the peacocks, enjoy and evening snack and even wake up to the sounds of lions roaring in the morning sun. Get ready to learn about the conservation of wildlife and simple ways you can help conserve at home. Family overnights with the animal kingdom are certainly no joke.

Ages: 6 and up
Cost: $90/member; $100/non–members.
