Africa
As soon as you 'arrive' the safari begins. Tour the African savannah at dusk, enjoy an evening of cultural games, snacks and create an African wooden mask. The safari ends the following morning with treats you'll give to the rhinos.

Australia
Buckle your seatbelts as we take flight to Australia's outback without leaving the Zoo. Learn how to speak Australian, enjoy a boomerang gift from Rolling Hills Zoo and enjoy a great Lamington. All of this is in addition to your group's nocturnal hike and tram ride.

Under the Stars
Wishing upon the stars will take you everywhere at Rolling Hills this summer. We'll explore the night sky over the United States, Africa, India and elsewhere across the globe. Through unique technology, we can guide ourselves through the stars to each continent as we compare their unique wonders.

Lands of Giants
Giraffes tower over every living thing. Elephants dwarf anything around. The Great Wall of China extends over a vast countryside. Come explore these giants and many more as we spend the night at Rolling Hills.
