AMBER JACOBS dons her PJs to uncover Australia’s best zoo sleepovers.

Wild Nights

As the noisy crowds leave and the sun sets, a zoo becomes an entirely different beast. What better way to experience it than on a sleepover? Both at home and abroad there are many zoos, aquariums and wildlife parks offering epic sleepovers for families, with a variety of hands-on animal experiences, exciting torchlight tours and kid-friendly accommodation ranging from tents to luxury suites. Here are some of our favourites.

SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Sleep Under the Sea

Mooloolaba, Queensland

Children can explore this aquarium in their pyjamas and see what SEA LIFE’s creatures and coral get up to at night. The school holiday sleepover experience includes a night tour, behind-the-scenes tour and seal presentation. SEA LIFE has impressive exhibits including an 80-metre-long Ocean Tunnel where guests can gaze up at stingrays, vibrantly coloured coral and eight different species of sharks. After a night full of activities and supper, kids will sleep soundly on the provided mats before waking up to breakfast. underwaterworld.com.au

Taronga Zoo Sydney Roar & Snore

Sydney, NSW
