      Wild About Zoo: A Valentine’s Day Fundraiser

      Wild About Zoo is a wildly fun Valentine’s Day event benefiting Hogle Zoo’s Education Team and Habitat Investigations Program. Spend the evening in Wild Utah, inside the Norma W. Matheson Animal Education Center, where Utah’s native wildlife creates a whimsical and intimate setting for a one-of-a-kind date night.
      Your evening includes:
      • A signature Wild Utah welcome experience
      • Exclusive animal moments, including: a porcupine parade, a raven enrichment session, and a behind-the-scenes tour
      • A premier, chef-crafted dining experience surrounded by some of Utah’s smallest (and mightiest) animal ambassadors, including burrowing owls, Western toads, and chuckwallas
      • A chance to bid on an exclusive training experience with Loki the bobcat

      Whether you’re celebrating a first date, years of friendship, or a lifelong love, Wild About Zoo invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and celebrate Valentine’s Day while supporting hands-on wildlife education for thousands of Utah’s second graders.

      Tickets are extremely limited – reserve yours today!
