Toledo Zoo
TOLEDO – Fly into summer fun with the Toledo Zoo’s Summer Safari Camps, starting in June. These day camps
offer campers, ages 4 to 14, an experience unlike anything else available in the area.
Themes stretch from penguins and polar bears to dinosaurs and fishing expeditions. Older kids (ages
11-14) can spend time working as Junior Zookeepers in Nature’s Neighborhood, the award-winning
children’s zoo, or they can become Junior Field Researchers and venture out with zoo staff for hands-on
conservation projects throughout the region.
The fun isn’t just for the kids. Family Snoozes invite families to camp overnight at the Zoo with
children (ages 5 and older). This fast-paced overnight experience includes animal interaction, keeper
talks, exclusive tours, meals and more. Sleeping accommodations vary from sleeping in the Forest Room of
Nature’s Neighborhood to camping in tents on Zoo grounds. Each Snooze has a theme that directs the
animal interactions, tours and more.
For more information about Summer Safari Camps or Zoo Snoozes, visit toledozoo.org.
The Toledo Zoo is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily (weekend hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.). The zoo is
located on the Anthony Wayne Trail, four miles south of downtown Toledo. For more information, visit
