This adult-only event running on Fridays is an unmissable evening that joins London city life with a kid-free evening and time to explore the zoo at your leisure – with the after-work London crowd. No tears or tantrums in sight!

At London Zoo’s fabulous attraction, you’ll find a whole host of animal enclosures and animal habitats for you to discover! You can explore the world of wildlife in the heart of the city while enjoying GIANT animal-themed games, interesting and curious animal talks given by expert guides and uncovering animal behaviors as the sun starts setting. You can even attend fun talks and tours like The Birds and Bees… Not to mention some really cool face painting too – what animal would you turn into?

Put your skills to the test with some outrageously cool games – all at Twilight time! See whether you have a speed of a cheetah or the mind of an ape – it’s time for a friendly competition against your family or friends! Who will be the ultimate winner?!

Also…did you hear that 1000 rubber ducks have arrived at London Zoo? Their Grade I listed Lubetkin Penguin pool has been transformed into a giant game of ‘Hook a Duck’ – it’s a must-play! Channel your inner child as you swing for the ducks – how many can you hook?

There might even be a Zooniversity Challenge style game show! There’s plenty of choice of fun-filled games and animals to see in plenty of time too!
