Night Time at the Zoo is a family-friendly after-hours experience at Exotic Zoo with live music, food and drinks, where you can party alongside the zoo\u2019s nocturnal animals.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second time the zoo has run the event, after a successful concert last year. The team are busy signing up local acts for the stage lineup for the event on Saturday, May 23<sup>rd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Adams, managing director at Exotic Zoo, said, \u201cWe\u2019ve launched early bird tickets now, not just as a way for our customers to get great value tickets, but to help our small zoo get through the winter months. At this time of year, our overheads are at an all-time high \u2013 we need to keep our animals fed, warm and looked after by our brilliant team, but our visitor income stream dries up. It\u2019s a really tough challenge to balance the books during a cost-of-living crisis, so we would love it if locals could buy their Night Time at the Zoo tickets now to help support us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSee the zoo in a whole new light as our nocturnal animals begin to wake up. We\u2019ll have some brilliant local acts, a BBQ, food stalls, a licensed bar, refreshments in the Jungle Cafe, stalls, face painting and family entertainment. All ages are welcome, so enjoy a night out with friends or family with our zoo animals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be a night like no other in Shropshire, so don\u2019t miss out!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Night Time at the Zoo is taking place on Saturday, May 23<sup>rd<\/sup>, from 5pm to 10pm.
