Tara Atlanta

Tara Atlanta presents the Oscar-qualifying screenings of Baristas vs. Billionaires, a powerful new documentary about a generational uprising of young, working-class activists—Starbucks baristas who set out to form the company’s first union store, which then spread like wildfire into a nationwide movement now including 700 Starbucks cafés and 12,000 baristas. Narrated by Susan Sarandon, this fast-paced, feature-length film pulls back the curtain on the stark contradiction between Starbucks’ carefully cultivated reputation and the reality workers face behind the scenes. Told in their own words, the baristas share how they’re organizing to win recognition for Starbucks Workers United (SBWU) and fight for their livelihoods. The film recently won the Grand Jury Prize at the Ethos International Film Festival, Best Western New York Feature, Buffalo International Film Festival, the 2026 Labor Oscar from the Labor Heritage Foundation and Best Documentary, Workers Unite Film Festival. You’ll never look at Starbucks the same way again. Check the Tara Atlanta website for showtimes.

Zoo Atlanta

Spend the night at Zoo Atlanta with your school or group at a NightCrawler Overnight.
Embark on a nocturnal adventure you won’t soon forget! 
When the last guest leaves for the day, we invite you to stay! Come find out what really happens when the sun goes down. Which animals stay up late and how do others settle down for the night? And in the morning, how do animals greet the day? Join us as we explore these questions and more on an overnight adventure designed for schools, Scouts, and other groups.
Participants will spend the majority of the evening outdoors walking around the Zoo with an Educator as their guide, stopping along the way to observe the nocturnal behaviors of the animals who call the Zoo home. During the evening, participants will have the opportunity to use night vision technology and will visit Scaly Slimy Spectacular to discover the nocturnal world of frogs, lizards, snakes, and turtles, illuminated by red flashlights. Participants will also enjoy a guided tour behind the scenes to discover how we care for animals every day. Learn about our new state-of-the-art veterinary complex, The Rollins Animal Health Center, and tour the Animal Nutrition Kitchen to find out what it takes to feed the Zoo!*  After an evening of exploration, participants will sleep in indoor, climate-controlled rooms with sleeping bags brought from home. And then rise and shine for more fun! Enjoy a catered continental breakfast from Proof of the Pudding followed by morning visits to animal habitats to see how our Animal Care Specialists help the animals start their day.
If you are looking for additional opportunities to connect with wildlife up-close, you can register your group for a 9 a.m. Animal Encounter for an additional fee. This encounter includes an exclusive 30-minute talk with a Zoo Educator and a visit with two to three small animal ambassadors before the conclusion of your NightCrawlers program. Note: We cannot accommodate specific animal requests for the encounter.
Participating groups are invited to stay and enjoy the Zoo at completion of your program!
*The behind-the-scenes portion of the tour is not fully ADA accessible. 
WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT DURING A NIGHTCRAWLER?
<ul><li>Rain or shine. This program happens rain or shine, and much of the program is outside. Please plan for the weather and dress accordingly.</li><li>The Zoo is made for walking! Most of this experience is spent walking around the Zoo, and there are multiple irregular surfaces and steep inclines. Plan to spend up to 5 hours on your feet touring the Zoo.</li><li>Come with a full belly. While we will take a break for a snack in the middle of the evening, please eat dinner before you arrive. And remember to bring your water bottle with you.</li><li>Embrace the dark. It’s called a NightCrawler for a reason. Explore the Zoo by the light of the moon and our Educators’ red-light flashlights. Guests may only use flashlights at bedtime.</li><li>Rustic camping meets the Zoo. All sleeping locations are in climate-controlled buildings with a restroom either in the building or nearby.</li><li>Stay awhile. At the completion of your program the following morning, you are welcome to stay and enjoy the Zoo at your leisure.</li><li>Have FUN! This unique experience is unlike anything that you can do in Atlanta. We look forward to hosting you for an upcoming program!</li></ul>
