Dream Night at the Zoo

Dream Night at the Zoo
SEP 3, 2026
Sponsored by Arkansas Children’s Hospital
5:00 PM – 7:00 PM | Last Admission 6:30 PM
Must be Registered to Attend

The Little Rock Zoo is proud to partner with Arkansas Children’s Hospital to host Dream Night a special evening created for guests who may need extra time and space to enjoy the Zoo due to chronic illness, sensory sensitivities, or mobility differences.

This FREE, exclusive after-hours event offers a welcoming, judgment-free environment where families can explore the Zoo at their own pace, visit favorite animals, and share a relaxing evening together.

To help make your visit as comfortable as possible, families are encouraged to bring along any resources that support their experience—such as mobility aids, fidget toys, headphones, or other helpful items. Limited wheelchairs and electric scooters will also be available for rent at the Gift Shop. Please note, the Train and Carousel each include one wheelchair-accessible space.

A Special Thank You to Our Sponsor

Something Wild is Always Around the Corner.
