I was looking at the hours in August and I noticed that there were no evening EMH for AK and it doesn't look like there are any at all any month...Anyone know why?

I was under the impression evening EMH are never offered at AK when park hours are later to begin with because of the work that needs to be done involving animal care in the park. Just aren't enough hours in the day to get it all done without the public seeing it happen.

Could be wrong but as someone who worked in an AZA Zoo previously it seemed logical to me.

Maybe someone else can confirm this..

Until recently, AK did have evening EMH. Unfortunately, they recently removed them from the rotation.

Speculation is that with the limited attractions open, the low crowds which attended and the amount of staff it took to keep AK open for evening EMH, they completely removed them from this park. :(

Here's a link from a recent discussion of the same topic:

i do think a lot depends on the animals...the later in the day it is, the less active they are....not to mention after dark, you can't really see them anyway.
i do wish AK had more morning hours...
