Scouts
Did you know that the Fort Worth Zoo is more than lions, tigers and bears? The Zoo offers programming on animals, plants, habitats, the outdoors, our environment and much more. They can help your troop or pack work towards a variety of badges and fun patches. Programming and events are designed just for your troop. If you have a smaller troop, why not invite another troop to join you for a “Buddy” event at the Zoo.
Please note that all Fort Worth Zoo overnights require a minimum of 15 participants.
Overnight activities include a craft, live animal and biofact presentation, scavenger hunt, morning Zoo hike and all-day Zoo admission on Saturday. An evening snack and continental breakfast will be included. One adult chaperone is required for every six scouts.
Refund Policy: Due to the high volume of requests for Overnights at the Fort Worth Zoo, we are unable to refund your package after you have registered. Registration fees are non-refundable, no exceptions.
