At a time when traffic noise around the zoo is subsiding and the city is falling asleep, when the silence and peace of night has arrived, nocturnal and crepuscular animals become active, the actions of which may not be seen in the middle of the day. Interest and observation are usually mutual. Just as visitors study the animals, groups of late-night visitors attract the attention of the animals. Especially the first excursion groups in May and early June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Late-night excursions<\/strong> at the zoo are led by experienced zookeepers and zoo guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tickets<\/strong><ul class=\"list-bulleted\"><li><strong>Single tickets are on sale at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.piletilevi.ee\/est\/piletid\/kogupere\/tallinna-loomaaia-hilisohtused-ekskursioonid-2024-91590\/?_gl=1*1aysr2m*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTU4NzAwNjA3Mi4xNzE1Njk3NDI5*_ga_F42M76QVYK*MTcxNTY5NzQyOC4xLjAuMTcxNTY5NzQyOC4wLjAuMA..\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Piletilevi<\/a> <\/strong>. <\/li><\/ul><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><ul class=\"list-bulleted\"><li><strong>Tickets for late-night excursions are not sold at the zoo\u2019s ticket offices<\/strong>.
