What is ZooBrew?    

ZooBrews are adults-only (21+) themed events occurring on select Wednesdays in the summer after the zoo closes to the public. A portion of all proceeds benefit our wildlife conservation partners.

If I’m a member, can I buy a ZooBrew ticket for a friend?   

Yes, ZooBrews are more fun with friends. Zoo members can use their membership discount to buy tickets for their friends.

How will I receive my online ZooBrew ticket?   

Tickets will be sent to the email provided at checkout. The PDF can be scanned or added to your Apple Wallet.

Are ZooBrew tickets or drink wristbands refundable?   

ZooBrew admission tickets and drink wristbands are non-refundable and non-transferrable to another ZooBrew event. Drink wristbands are only available for the night you purchase them and DO NOT roll over to another ZooBrew event.

What can I expect at ZooBrew?   

ZooBrew is an adult-only, after-hours fun environment. It's your chance to see the zoo in a completely different way. The best way to experience ZooBrew is to: dress up according to the theme, purchase brew-exclusive food and beverages, participate in an animal encounter, buy brew-exclusive art made by Hogle Zoo’s resident animals, and learn how to support the zoo’s conservation initiatives.

Does ZooBrew happen rain or shine?   

Yes! Please come prepared if there is rain in the forecast. ZooBrew admission tickets and drink tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable to another ZooBrew event.
