More of a night person? If you're 16 or older, join the Full Moon Tours at the sanctuary that are held on a select night once a month. Unlike the daytime tour where a tour guide leads visitors through the sanctuary, you will tour the facility at your own pace, listening to the guides posted at each pack.

Even night owls get a bit tired from time-to-time. Bring some marshmallows or hot dogs and toast them over the open bonfire. Visitors are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs and to relax by the bonfire with other visitors and tour guides.
