Starry Safari Overnight Adventures Returns to The Living Desert

From The Living Desert: Join The Living Desert for its annual Starry Safari Overnight Adventures, an unforgettable after-hours experience that includes spending the night at the zoo.

Starry Safari is for adults and children five years and older, and is a perfect outing for families as well as scouting, church and school groups. Singles and couples without children are also welcome to attend this fun night at the zoo.

This ultimate outdoor camping adventure, in The Living Desert’s Tent Village, features a unique, up-close and personal animal encounter, as well as a memorable nighttime guided walk through the park. The activities take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m., with the night ending with the time-honored camping tradition of roasting s’mores over an open fire.

Campers are provided a roomy four-person tent, equipped with a sleeping pad for a comfortable night’s sleep. Guests are required to bring their own sleeping bag and blankets along with personal toiletries and additional clothes for the next day.

In the morning, campers will enjoy a continental breakfast. Starry Safari concludes at 8:30 a.m. and guests are encouraged to stay and explore The Living Desert for the day (park admission is included).

For Living Desert members, Starry Safari has a $72 per tent non-refundable reservation fee and is $78 per person. For non-members, Starry Safari has a $72 per tent con-refundable reservation fee and is $93 per person. At least one person in each tent must be 21 or older.
