About Our Nightlife Programs

These programs are offered on limited dates, and fill quickly. Please register in advance to secure the reservation for your group. Registration requires a minimum of a three weeks notice, but dates often fill months in advance.
All overnight participants will receive a free pass to the Birmingham Zoo. Passes are only valid for the day following the overnight program.
(NOTE: Next-day passes are not available for Twilight Tours.)
Bring your own sleeping bags, pillows, tents, mats, etc. This is like camping so bring only what you can carry!
Programs are available any night of the week throughout most of the year. Check for availability.

Refund/Cancellation Policy

A $100 non-refundable deposit is required when scheduling a Nightlife Program.
If a group decides to reschedule their program; an additional $25 will be added to their initial price.
If for any reason the Birmingham Zoo has to cancel a group’s program, the entire deposit, as well as any other payments, will be refunded. The Birmingham Zoo will work with groups to reschedule the Nightlife Program.

The Birmingham Zoo is a facility that uses nuts and nut products for animal diet purposes. Traces of nuts or nut products may be found in areas where animal feedings are conducted and areas where Programs and Educational animal demonstrations are performed. The safety of our guests remains a top priority and the Zoo takes precautions to provide a safe environment.
