50 Things Every Clevelander Must Do - Classic Clevelander - 41 - Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

Stay overnight at the Cleveland metroparks zoo

If you're looking for a wild time, pack your bag and invite 15 of your closest friends to the zoo. During its adult overnight stays, you'll be led on a safari through the African Elephant Crossing where night-vision binoculars may help you see animals such as lions, elephants and zebras. After you settle into your tent, feast on a barbecue and roast marshmallows over a bonfire — don't worry, there's a cash bar for those creatures of comfort. The best part is listening to the sounds of the wild — the lions' roars have been known to wake guests up at night. 3900 Wildlife Way, Cleveland, 216-635-3391, clevelandmetroparks.com
