Spend Days and Nights at the Toledo Zoo

Keeping Up With Kids  |  05/07/2017 8:00 am

Summer vacation means Toledo Zoo Summer Safari Camps sponsored by McDonald’s of northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. These affordably priced week-long day camps offer campers ages four to 15 an opportunity to enjoy the Zoo in the wildest of ways!

This year’s camp topics range from learning all about Australia in Critters Down Under and Journey through the Outback, to participating in the ZooMazing Race and creating animal-tastic masterpieces in Wild Artist!

Older kids (ages 11-15) can spend time working as Junior Zookeepers or even venture out with Zoo biologists for a hands-on project in Conservation Explorers.
Camps begin June 5 and run through August 11. Most camps run 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., however, the new offering Leaders of the Pack has an added overnight experience! Please check the website for details. Children may be signed up for one or more camps. Zoo member discounts apply. 

The fun isn’t just for the kids, though. Zoo Snoozes invite the entire family to camp overnight at the Zoo with children ages six and older. This nocturnal experience includes animal interaction, keeper talks, exclusive tours, delicious meals and more. Sleeping accommodations vary by date, locations include the Forest Room of the award-winning Nature’s Neighborhood, the Aquarium and the Arctic Encounter®. Each Snooze has a theme that guides the animal interactions, tours and more.
