Upcoming Family NightCrawlers
Take a sneak peek at our upcoming Family NightCrawler programs… 

Rockin’ Rainforests 
November 21
It is often said that we know less about the canopy of the tropical rainforest than we do the surface of the moon. It’s no wonder… an estimated one half of the world’s species live in tropical rainforests and new species are being discovered everyday! Explore the treasures of the world’s tropical rainforest and the impact this unique ecosystem has on our every day life here in Atlanta.
 
Animal Treats and Teasers
December 5
Ever wonder how we keep the lives of our exhibit animals new and exciting? Enrichment! Investigate the challenging brain teasers we offer our animals - and maybe even try a few for yourself! Enjoy an exclusive tour of our Animal Nutrition Kitchen and learn all about the tasty treats we use to spice up the everyday for our animals.  Make a holiday treat or two for your own animals at home!  

Deluxe Family NightCrawlers - NEW

   
   

Feeding Frenzy!
November 14

Enter our wonderful World of Reptiles. Snakes and lizards and frogs, oh my! Everyone is always drawn to the cute and cuddly side of wildlife, but the slimy and the slithery are just as important and just as much fun! Learn all about our scaly reptilian (and smooth amphibian) friends and the important roles they play in our environment. Roam the World of Reptiles at night, create cool crafts, and participate in exciting hands-on activities. Spend some time in the morning with one of our reptile keepers as they feed a wide range of animals in our reptile collection, including Slasher, our Komodo dragon!

 
   

Tusks at Dusk
December 19
Discover the world of the largest living land mammal – the African elephant! Spend the evening learning about these majestic creatures through hands-on activities, arts and crafts projects, observations through night vision scopes and much more. Wake up to enjoy an exclusive tour of the elephant barn and get up-close-and-personal with one of Zoo Atlanta’s very own African elephants! As an exciting added bonus, participants will even get to feed one of our pachyderm pals! Availability is extremely limited.
