“Brew is a community favorite and helps support the mission of the zoo. This year will be an exciting highlight of summer for a lot of people who’ll reunite with old friends and spend some “koala-ty time” at the zoo,” Friends of the Zoo Executive Director Carrie Large. “It also a great opportunity for us to connect with adults and bring them close enough to care about our animals and those in the wild.”

Tickets are available at the zoo’s website for $53 for zoo members and $55 non-members.

Friends of the Zoo is also offering designated driver tickets for $20 and reserved parking for $15 per spot.
