Dream Night is an international event, which started in 1996 at the Netherlands Rotterdam Zoo, for children with disabilities and those dealing with chronic illnesses. Since then, over 250 zoos and attractions have opened up their grounds to children and their families for a private evening of fun.
The night included:
Free admission
Dinner in the American Express Pavilion
Face Painting
Carousel Ride
Activities and Programs
Mascot and Princess Encounters
"World of Flight Bird Show"
Village Inn- Apple Pie
From 6-9pm
The kids had a great time. Dinner was great. Paul was holding back tears. As he looked around all he could see was sick and disabled children. Its just so hard to take at times. But comfort to know that you are not alone. So many brave families out there. Presley was pretty tired and actually threw up 2 times. :( But she didn't want to miss out on the fun, so she tried so hard to keep up. I think the kids enjoyed the giraffes and the sea lions the best. The other high light was face painting and the carousel ride. We stopped to see the princess too, Crew was not sure about that! Presley ran into Pam, one of the nurses at clinic. Fun to see a familiar face. Thanks so much Hogle Zoo, a fun night for families!
