A Night at the Zoo
Your group can join us for a special overnight experience at the Zoo!
See below for more details and to learn about how to enter this year’s lottery.
Zoo Snoozes will take place Friday nights from January through mid-June, and September through mid-November. There are no Zoo Snoozes during Summer Camps or Zoolights.
An Unforgettable Experience
During this exclusive Zoo Snooze experience your group will explore the Pacific Seas Aquarium galleries, take an outdoor nighttime tour of our Rocky Shores habitat and sleep in the underwater world of the Northwest Waters gallery (on the dry side of course!).
Morning activities include a continental breakfast, a visit to Kids’ Zone to meet our friendly goat herd, and a private encounter with one of the Asian Forest Sanctuary animals.

Registration Process
Due to the popularity of Zoo Snoozes, each group must submit an online request form.
- Online request forms will be available here for submission August 1-31, 2024.
- Submitting a request form does not guarantee that your group will be selected to participate in a Snooze program. Groups will be selected using a lottery system.
- Only one submission per group is required. (Multiple submissions for the same group will not improve chances of selection.)
- We will begin contacting groups regarding their 2025 status in early October 2024.
- Request forms must be submitted annually. They do not roll over into future years.
