      Welcome to the Jungle
      Fundraiser (21+)

      Welcome to the Jungle - Fundraiser at Hogle Zoo
      Event Description

      Tuesday, June 9, 2026 | 6:30 PM Check-in

      Get ready to rock at Welcome to the Jungle. This totally rad 80’s-themed night at Utah’s Hogle Zoo supports the transformation in the Small Animal Building Desert Endzone into a cool new habitat for our four resident rock hyraxes, the ultimate “parkour potatoes” built to conquer steep rocky surfaces with their incredible suction-like grip. Tease up that hair, break out the neon, and help us build a wicked new space where these agile little climbers can thrive.

      Your evening includes:

      • After-hours access to the zoo for a totally wild evening 
      • Two radical drink tickets to keep the good vibes flowing
      • Rockin’ themed appetizers and decadent desserts with bold 80’s flair 
      • Preparing animal enrichment for the hyrax, black-footed cats, sand cats, pouched rats, armadillos, and hornbills
      • Gnarly 80’s tunes and neon nostalgia to keep the party going
      • Chance to bid on a unique animal training experience you won’t want to miss
      • Totally tubular 80's costume contest

      Big hair encouraged. Big impact guaranteed.
