Camp INSIDE the zoo itself and find out what life is like between dusk and dawn, when many residents come out to play. With an evening tour and a twilight tour, you’ll be able to meet all the diurnal and nocturnal animals.
Imagine falling asleep under the stars in the depths of Dartmoor, away from civilisation for the evening, surrounded by exotic animals and waking up to the sound of our African Lioness, Kimya roaring!
Pitch up in the heart of the zoo. With a private close encounters session a keeper-led tour of the zoo, and a campfire, experience an unforgettable camping trip. With a BBQ dinner and breakfast all included, you can enjoy the weekend at no extra cost.
Also receive your very own Roar n’ Snore t-shirt (included in ticket price) to remember the night.
This event runs from 2pm on the date of your booking, so you’ll be able to witness a live big cat feed straight after the event briefing upon arrival. After spending the night at the zoo, once your tent is packed away, you will also have zoo admission for the Sunday included.
