Dreamnight at Denver Zoo

We invite you to join us for Dreamnight: a special admission-free evening event reserved for children with disabilities or special health care needs, and their families. Specially designed keeper talks, animal demonstrations and other activities are planned throughout the evening—with dedicated quiet spaces where guests are welcome to take a few quiet moments away from the excitement. More details below!

August 11 | 6:00 p.m. | All Ages Welcome | Free of Charge

 

This event will not require masks for staff or guests.

We will have golf carts to assist with transport through the Zoo, but we will NOT have ADA accessible carts this year.
