About this Event
Dream Night at the Zoo: An Evening of Inclusion, Belonging, and Possibility
Join us at the Little Rock Zoo for a truly special after-hours experience where families can dream with us, make lasting memories, and discover the Zoo in ways they may never have imagined.
On Thursday, September 3, from 5–7 p.m., the Little Rock Zoo will proudly host Dream Night at the Zoo, sponsored by Arkansas Children’s. This special evening is designed exclusively for families of children with special needs or chronic health conditions, providing an opportunity to enjoy the Zoo in a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment.
During Dream Night, invited families will experience the Little Rock Zoo free of charge and have the opportunity to explore, connect, play, and simply enjoy being together without the concerns that can sometimes accompany traditional public events. The evening is intentionally designed to create a sense of belonging—an environment where families can feel comfortable, supported, and celebrated for exactly who they are.
Dream Night is about much more than a night at the Zoo. It is about creating meaningful experiences, fostering understanding, celebrating differences, and reminding families that they are an important and valued part of our community. Every child deserves the opportunity to experience the wonder of wildlife, the joy of discovery, and the simple magic of a family outing.
