A great chance to see the animals in a relaxed atmosphere this summer, London Zoo Night lets you enjoy some great entertainment and get ready for the weekend.

An unusual way to spend your Friday night, the London Zoo Night is a chance to sip on a cocktail by the penguin pool, catch the fire jugglers and stilt walkers as they entertain visitors to the zoo, and be amazed by the inmates.

London Zoo Night is a regular feature of the London Zoo summer calendar, giving visitors a very different experience of the attraction. With nocturnal animals up and about, entertainment from the animals themselves, there is plenty to keep you interested.

In the Animals in Action show for example you can see the resident London Zoo animals as they go about flipping, flying, leaping and climbing. On London Zoo Night the animals will do what they do best in a late night special just for you.

The late night summer opening is also a time when you can explore the zoo just as if you were a normal visitor. If you are the kind of person who has always wanted to visit the zoo, but can't seem to find the time during the day, then the London Zoo Night provides the ideal visiting hours for you. Take in the Gorilla Kingdom where London Zoo's delightful gorillas romp and play in their natural habitat, and check out the new tropical bird walk through and see the birds in their amazing natural habitat.

Animal shows and keeper talks will also feature as part of this year's London Zoo Night. You can see the Meerkats and otters feeding, and hear all about their habitats; penguins, tapirs and African hunting dogs will also be on show. Kids are not left out of the equation as the Children's Zoo is open on the night for little ones to get closer to the rabbits and goats.

The more adventurous animal fans will be thrilled to see the megabugs, the okapi and the llama walk, and anyone with an interest in dentistry will enjoy the hippo teeth cleaning. To round off the evening you will get a chance to meet the tallest residents of London Zoo, the giraffes, before taking a look at the Rainforest Lookout for a talk.

If you would like to book tickets for the London Zoo Night, phone 020 7722 3333 for more information. Please note that last entry into London Zoo will be at 9pm and the Animal Houses close at 9:30pm.
