An eclipse is an extraordinary phenomenon—and even more so when it’s visible from our latitudes!
So we’ve decided to combine this event with our summer night tour, a long-standing tradition at the Asson Zoo.

The program begins at 7:00 p.m.:

- Observing the sun using specialized, safety-approved equipment to appreciate its activity before the eclipse.
- Observation of the eclipse using special glasses (provided free of charge)

At the peak of the phenomenon (which lasts only a few moments), experience the twilight atmosphere and observe possible changes in animal behavior.

A Nighttime Tour

After a quick picnic break, participants will set out at night to discover nocturnal animals and explore behind-the-scenes areas for magical, unforgettable moments. The tour is guided and narrated to help you experience and understand the Zoo in a different way.
