At Great Plains Zoo, a diverse range of educational and overnight programs are available to connect children and families with the natural world. ZooCub classes introduce infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to animal life through lessons, stories, and interactive experiences including special animal encounters and zoo tours. For those seeking an immersive experience, the Zoo Camp Outs offer overnight stays within the zoo grounds tailored for families and adults. The After Dark Adventure is perfect for groups desiring nocturnal zoo exploration with activities and animal encounters without camping overnight. Tweens can join the BHA Overnight Adventure to explore the Butterfly House and Aquarium after hours, enjoying hands-on touch tanks, games, and specially curated animal activities. Furthermore, the zoo provides tailored educational initiatives for homeschooling families and Girl Scouts to complement their learning objectives with real-world encounters and badge programs, enriching the outdoor educational experience.
