At the Wild Animal Park

Students in grades 3–6 can camp out at the Wild Animal Park with their class in the popular Night Owls program for school groups. Themed around animal adaptations, students meet several animals up close, take a Journey into Africa tour, participate in a game that matches adaptations and habitats, enjoy African songs and stories around a campfire, and much more. The morning offers a stroll through the Park before its daily opening to the public.

Night Owls is offered in the spring and fall. The program fee is $93 per camper from San Diego County schools; $99 per camper for schools not in San Diego County.

"I find your entire staff to have a rare combination of academic knowledge and the ability to share it with the young students. Every year I have students who simply cannot focus on academic matters. Nevertheless, I watched as some of those otherwise troubled students listened, watched, and learned with full attention throughout the experience."—Will O., Richland Avenue Elementary School
