About
Peoria Zoo Camps include activities such as games, crafts, animal encounters, tours, and a night-time tour, with some sessions also offering a pizza party.

Peoria Zoo Camps include sessions that focus on animal species that are important pollinators, the threats these animals face in the wild, and how people can be the reason for their survival. Some sessions (Zoovivor Sessions 1, 4, and 6) offer an optional pizza party on Thursday, when campers may stay at the zoo until 7:00pm for pizza and a night-time tour. Registration for Zoo Camp is handled through the Peoria Park District, with in-district registration opening Monday, January 16 at 8:30am and out-of-district registration opening Monday, January 22 at 8:30am. Programs are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and the zoo may cancel programs with low registration, in which case a full refund is given.
The mission of Peoria Zoo is to create connections that inspire an appreciation for and encourage actions to conserve the natural world, and the zoo states that it will be recognized as a leader in raising public awareness and commitment to conservation. Camp information notes AZA in connection with animal care standards. The zoo is open daily from 10:00am–5:00pm.
