June 3, 2013, WEST PALM BEACH, Florida – The Palm Beach Zoo comes alive at night! The Palm Beach Zoo is once again offering its popular Safari Nights event series but this time with a twist. Safari Nights begin on Friday, June 7th and run every Friday evening from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., through the end of September.

Each Friday evening will feature different family friendly themes such as marinelife, pirates, movies and more. Themes will tie into a different conservation message which will be highlighted that evening.  June’s themes will be Under the Sea (June 7), The Everglades (June 14), Pirate Party (June 21), and Tropical Luau (June 28).

In addition to the newly unveiled themes the evenings will bring back the ever-popular disc jockeying and face painting talents of Glass Productions’ Purple People Painters and Noisy Neighbors DJs in the Fountain Plaza.

Other nightly offerings will include up-close roving animal encounters and special performances of the Wings Over Water bird show and Wild Things stage show, children’s games and take-home crafts in the Florida Pioneer House, dinner specials in the Tropics Cafe, complimentary rides on the Wildlife Carousel, offerings of the Paws for a Cause Animal Art Expo, photo opportunities with the Zoo’s costume mascots – Kiwi the Koala, Timmy the Tiger, and Speedy the Sea Turtle. Live music for the grown-ups will occasionally be offered on the Tropics Cafe Deck overlooking beautiful Baker Lake.

Safari Nights are always free for Palm Beach Zoo annual members. Non-members receive discounted admission of $15.95 for adults/seniors, $9.95 for children ages 3-12 and toddlers (ages 0-2) are always free. For additional information regarding Safari Nights, please visit www.palmbeachzoo.org.
