All guests must be ages 21 and older and must bring a valid, state-issued ID to the event. No exceptions will be made for any reason.
Tickets for all dates are now available. You can save $5 per event admission by purchasing online ahead of time.

Each Late Nights’ capacity is limited to 2500 total attendees and the last admission to the event is at 9:30 p.m. To guarantee admission, the Zoo recommends purchasing tickets in advance online. You can also save time by pre-purchasing drink tickets online. Drink tickets can be pre-purchased online with your event admission and you can pick them up at the ticketing kiosks throughout the Zoo. Additional drink tickets will also be sold on-site.
