It's beginning to look a lot like BREW LIGHTS!

Brew Lights is a one night only, 21+ event where guests get to experience all the lights of Zoo Lights while sampling beer and cider from regional breweries. Join us on Friday, November 17th from 6:30pm - 9pm to experience the Zoo in a whole new light! You must be 21 or older to attend Brew Lights. Children and infants will not be permitted to enter.

We encourage everyone to have a plan for transportation to and from Brew Lights. Designated Driver tickets will only be served non-alcoholic beverages.

VIP Tickets - $100 - $125

This year, we are also offering several VIP ticket options. All VIP tickets include a special animal encounter and early entrance in to the Zoo. VIP Animal encounters begin at 5:30pm. Please note that alcohol will not be served until after your animal experience.

VIP TOUR OPTIONS:

• VIP Polar Bear Training Session ($100) ONLY 9 LEFT - join our keepers for a chance to see how we train our largest bears and learn about why that training helps them participate in their own healthcare. This demonstration takes place outdoors. Starts at 5:30 p.m.
• **NEW** VIP Aardvark Encounter ($125) SOLD OUT - our nocturnal animals can be some of the hardest to get to know, but this night event is the perfect opportunity for a lucky few to meet one of our favorite residents!

This encounter is strictly limited to 10 people. Starts at 5:30 p.m.
• VIP Wreath Making/Camel Enrichment Experience ($100) 8 LEFT - this festive opportunity is a fantastic way to make an impact for our animals this winter! Start this experience by giving our camels a pre-made browse wreath where you will get to see how much our animals love browse! Then join our horticulturalist and make your very own animal enrichment wreaths. Your wreaths will be frozen so we can give them out to our animals throughout the winter. Starts at 5:30 p.m.
• VIP Seal Building Behind the Scenes ($100) SOLD OUT - no matter the weather, spending time with our seals (and seal keepers) is an arctic blast!
