Beat the summertime heat every July and August as the Zoo stays open until 9 p.m. every Saturday during these two months. Most of the animals are out on exhibit until dusk (but some do go in such as the birds, rhinos, anteater, and some of the monkeys), take a sunset kayaking tour, ride the train, and listen to music. Paws On, The Wildlife Detective Training Academy, and the Aviary will be closed at night. Summer Saturday Nights begins at 5 p.m. every Saturday in July and August. Last admission is 8 p.m. During Summer Saturday Nights, guests will not be permitted to bring outside food or drink into the Zoo.
