Join us for one last roar before the summer ends! Come enjoy an evening at the Zoo with your family where guests of all ages can celebrate the season! Pack a blanket or enjoy our picnic areas while taking in live keeper chats, animal enrichment, and lawn games throughout the Zoo!

Join us for an end-of-summer celebration filled with food, friends, and lots of fun! Your entry includes a classic picnic buffet of hamburgers and hot dogs with traditional salads and toppings, cookies, lemonade, and water. In addition, you will have after-hours access to the zoo, assorted yard games and inflatables, face painting, carousel and train rides, animal welcome experience, keeper chats, and more! The purchase of each adult ticket also includes one entry into our Zoorific Raffle for a chance to win some great prizes. Alcohol, retail items, additional snacks, and desserts will also be available for purchase. 

Enjoy the zoo from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm (Indoor exhibits open until 7:30 pm). The raffle drawing will take place at the Education Pavilion at 7:30 pm. Upon arrival, your group will be given a colored wristband designating your meal time to help manage available seating.   

Children's Admission: All children must be accompanied by an adult with a valid admission ticket. While children ages 2 and under are welcome to join free of charge, we cannot guarantee a seat or high chair for them during dinner service. 

Registration: Please bring your admission ticket (either digital or printed) to verify entry at the gate. Parking is first-come, first-served. If you are enjoying the zoo prior to its public closing at 5:00 pm, please note that you will need to exit and re-enter at 5:30 pm for this exclusive event. 

Don't let summer slip away without one last wild adventure!
