Come 2010 Woodland Park Zoo will be closing the Nocturnal House due to budget restrictions. In the Annual Plan presented by the Zoological Society they state "The zoo will close the Night Exhibit portion of the Day and Night exhibits. That exhibit was chosen because of its operating costs – it is the zoo’s most expensive user of energy – and there will be an evaluation of how to renovate and retrofit the building to be more energy efficient." The specific date has not been announced but take in the exhibit once more while you can. Remember the longer you let your eyes adjust the better you'll see all the creatures.
Update- the nocturnal house will close on March 1st. Most of the animals will be relocated to other exhibits in the zoo.
