London Zoo Nights - This event is past

Escape and unwind this summer and let ZSL London Zoo entertain you by twilight.

Tonight, for one night only, ZSL London Zoo will open its doors after hours to give you and your friends a Friday night out with a difference.

Watch the zoo come alive on a summer’s evening with music and colourful entertainment as you unwind with a drink from the bar and a bite to eat.

Tickets are available on the gate

Advanced online tickets have now ended.

Join us for this unique experience to see some of the most fascinating animals on earth up close as the sun begins to set.

Don’t miss our colossal new exhibit, Giants of the Galapagos, home to three giant tortoises. Feel free to have a nose around their sparkling new home, but you may need to give the tortoises some privacy…although Dirk may be considered old at 70 years, he still likes to get it on with the ladies!

Make sure you catch the special evening version of Animals in Action, our live animal show where the Zoo’s inhabitants show off their flying, leaping, and crawling skills, or go on an Animal Adventure in our new children’s zoo and have fun exploring the interactive exhibits by twilight.

Enjoy a drink - or two - from the bar as you take in the sounds of the Jazz band on the lawn, and make sure you end the night in style with our stunning light and dance finale in the central court.

With food, drinks, entertainment and a chance to spend a sultry summer evening in the most exciting venue in London, Zoo Nights is a fantastic event for the whole family to enjoy.
