Animal lovers can have an opportunity to stay overnight at the zoo & experience the nocturnal sights & sounds there with an overnight stay at Jungle Cat World, just east of Toronto. After spending a day in the park, you can explore the grounds further after everyone else has left – you’ll see & hear the animals at night.
