Our limited Twilight T.W.A.N.G. tours are back — but this time, with 4 brand-new experiences tailored directly to your interests!
In years past, our twilight tours offered a unique opportunity to see the park in the evening. While that after-hours magic is absolutely still there, we are leveling things up by adding an even more educational, intentional, and purposeful experience to your night.
Instead of an already special after-hours drive, you can now customize your adventure. Whether you care deeply about global conservation science or want a thrilling nighttime safari experience, we have a theme for you.
Night Shift
Ever wondered what happens when the park’s daytime residents go to bed? Join us for the ultimate day-to-night transformation as the nocturnal world comes alive. On this tour, you’ll practice the art of noticing — testing your own sight, smell, and hearing against the animal kingdom’s night-shift masters. It’s a fun, sensory-driven look at animal adaptations, all kicked off by a gorgeous North Texas sunset.
