"Thank you for an outstanding experience!  The girls
will remember this adventure forever. We will be sure
to recommend this excursion to other Girl Scout Troops!"
- NightCrawler participant

Thousands of Scouts visit Zoo Atlanta each year because we share the belief that all children have the power to make the world a better place. From NightCrawler overnights to Scout Days, Zoo Atlanta offers Girl and Boy Scouts several opportunities to learn about animals, environmental issues and conservation.

Upcoming Programs

Group NightCrawler overnights
After the sun sets, your Scout group of ten or more can go behind-the-scenes to see what really happens at the Zoo after dark! Spend the night in climate controlled facilities and wake up to the sound of lions roaring! Each NightCrawler overnight includes:

  • A fun themed program  
  • A night time scavenger hunt of the World of Reptiles 
  • A tour of the Animal Nutrition Kitchen
  • An animal encounter with several education animals
  • Continental breakfast and private guided tour of the Zoo
