Patients 'Dream Night' at Hogle Zoo Friday

SALT LAKE CITY — The fourth annual "Dream Night," which lets physically challenged, chronically ill or special-needs children and their families enjoy a complimentary evening at Utah's Hogle Zoo, will run from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Friday, June 4.

Dream Night began at the Rotterdam Zoo in the Netherlands in 1996 and has grown to include 201 zoos in 36 countries around the world.

Hogle Zoo has partnered with Shriners Hospitals for Children, Primary Children's Medical Center and the National Ability Center by inviting children who are patients at these facilities.

Dream Night is held after regular zoo hours to give special attention and unique animal experiences to the children.
