Look! We now offer 3 completely different overnight experiences!
Oceans
Dream with the dolphins! Snore with the sharks! This program focuses on marine ecosystem. We will concentrate our time on two marine organisms. You can choose between sharks, dolphins, corals, and sea turtles.
Minnesota
Discover the true Minnesota Wild! Designed for smaller groups (under 35) this program explores Minnesota through many hands on activities and getting close to some hometown animals. At the end of the night, the wolves may be howling you off to sleep.
Bears
Just how big is a grizzly? Come find out in this new overnight experience in our Russian Grizzly Coast exhibit. Learn about the area that parallels Minnesota on the other side of the Pacific. We may even sleep in lava tubes!
