The camels aren’t the only ones celebrating hump day at Blank Park Zoo! Every Wednesday in the summer, the Zoo comes to life after hours for those 21 and over. This popular fundraising event features a variety of live music and summer brews all while enjoying the animals!  When you buy a brew, you support the Zoo!

Zoo Brew will be operating at 50% capacity. People with pre-purchased tickets and members will have priority for admission into the event. If we reach capacity, we will form a queue line and members and advance ticket holders will have priority access as guests leave. 

Zoo Brew is a 21+ event where adults enjoy a beverage and explore the Zoo in a childfree environment. As an outdoor venue, guests have the opportunity to practice social distancing. Masks are highly encouraged, and required in the Discovery Center exhibit.

We are excited to welcome the 21+ crowd back to the Zoo in a responsible way. When you buy a brew, you support the Zoo!

No refund on pre-purchased tickets. If a Zoo Brew event is cancelled tickets will be valid for regular Zoo admission through March 2021.
