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.
Participants will also enjoy a guided tourbehind the scenestodiscoverhow we care for animalsevery day.Learn aboutour newstate-of-the-artveterinary complex, The Rollins Animal Health Center, andtourthe Animal Nutrition Kitchento 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!
*Some of our diurnal animals sleep indoors at night. While we cannot promise specific animal observations during the program, we encourage you to stay and enjoy the Zoo at the completion of your program for no additional cost! 
**The behind-the-scenesportionof the tour is not fully ADA accessible. 
WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT DURING A NIGHTCRAWLER?
Rain or shine. This program happens rain or shine, and much of the program is outside. Please plan for the weather and dress accordingly.
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.
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.
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.
Rustic camping meets the Zoo. All sleeping locations are in climate-controlled buildings with a restroom either in the building or nearby.
Stay awhile. At the completion of your program the following morning, you are welcome to stay and enjoy the Zoo at your leisure.
Have FUN! This unique experience is unlike anything that you can do in Atlanta. We look forward to hosting you for an upcoming program!
Age Range: 6+

ENZO Steakhouse &amp; Bar opens its first Intown location this winter, Executive Chef Andrea Montobbio is giving Atlanta an early taste of what he has planned for Midtown. On Friday, October 9, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., the celebrated Italian chef will step into the Epicurean Theatre at Epicurean Atlanta for The Art of Pasta Making, the first public preview of ENZO Midtown since its debut announcement this summer.
For one night, guests will trade the dining room for a place beside Montobbio as he shares the technique, precision and unmistakable Italian instinct behind two fresh pasta preparations.
The hands-on class welcomes every skill level and begins with charcuterie and a welcome spritz before moving into tagliatelle with Bolognese, Parmigiano and béchamel, followed by radiatori alla vodka with San Marzano tomatoes and burrata.
Each pasta course will be paired with wine, with tiramisu closing the evening.
The class offers more than a lesson in fresh pasta. It is an early introduction to the food and personality Montobbio is bringing to ENZO Midtown, along with a preview of the chef dinners, wine tastings, cooking classes and culinary events planned for the restaurant.
Tickets for The Art of Pasta Making are $85 per person and available at epicureanhotelatlanta.com or the Epicurean Atlanta front desk.
The event is open to guests 21 and older, and the ticket price includes gratuity. Tax will be added at checkout.
Complimentary two-hour valet validation is provided.
The class will take place at Epicurean Atlanta, located at 1117 West Peachtree Street NW in Midtown.
Attendance is limited, and advance reservations are encouraged.

Join us for an immersive day-long experience offering multiple pathways to process grief through cultural, somatic &amp; integrative practices.
Grief is one of the most universal human experiences and one of the least supported.
In a culture that moves quickly and prizes resilience as the absence of pain, many of us have learned to carry our losses quietly, tucking them into the edges of daily life. Over time, unwitnessed grief doesn't simply fade. It settles into the body, shapes our nervous system, and influences how we relate to ourselves and to the people around us.
This retreat offers something different. A day to pause, to understand, to be gently held by practices that speak to your entire being-your body, your mind, your heart, and your spirit. SIGNUP:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/life-after-grief-retreata-sacred-day-of-clarity-understanding-tickets-1987098156076#location" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">eventbrite.com/e/life-after-grief-retreata-sacred-day-of-clarity-understanding-tickets-1987098156076#location</a>
Whether you are grieving a person, a relationship, a dream, a diagnosis, a pregnancy, or a version of yourself you once knew — you are welcome here, exactly as you are. Come seeking clarity about what you've been experiencing. Come for insight into how grief moves through us. Come simply to rest in a community that understands this terrain without needing you to explain it.
When grief is witnessed...... when it is gently moved through the body and tended within safe community — neuroscience shows us that the nervous system begins to shift. The chronic activation of stress responses softens. New neural pathways open. What felt frozen begins, slowly, to move....here our grief can begin to take shape and meaning.
Ancient healing traditions understood this long before modern research confirmed it. We do not heal in isolation. We heal in relationship with ourselves, with our bodies, witnessing one another, and with something larger than our individual stories.
This day weaves together somatic practice, sound medicine, creative expression, neuroscience, ancestral ritual wisdom, and the quiet power of compassionate community...offering multiple pathways so you can follow what feels most nourishing and true for you.
There is no right way to move through this day. There is no place you should be by now. There is only this moment, this space, and a warm invitation to receive what you need.
