What is dream night? The event held at Taronga Zoo, gives children with special needs or serious health issues the opportunity to share in a unique program where they can feel like VIP guests, with celebrity appearances, animal encounters, bird and seal shows and much more.

We’ve invited many of our beloved regulars to help bring the magic, including:

• The 501st Southern Garrison (Star Wars and Super Hero cosplayers)

• The Cockatoo Kids

• The Diggers Military Motorcycle Club

• SpinJoy

• NSW Police, Fire & Rescue NSW, and NSW Ambulance

And of course, Taronga’s incredible keepers are busy training their animal stars for a Free Flight Bird Show and Red Energy Seal Show – just for you!

These tickets are strictly distributed to Charity Partners of Taronga and distributed at their discretion.
