Ride on the Wild Side is the one day a year you can ride your bicycle around Zoo grounds, biking by the bears, cruising past the camels, and wheeling around the seals. All participants will enjoy a long-sleeved event day T-shirt, a delicious breakfast and lunch, and a full day to explore the Zoo!

Guests can enjoy all the Zoo has to offer in the fall. Crisp autumn air and colorful leaves will paint a spectacular backdrop to the day as all guests are admitted FREE!

At Zoo Brew, the Zoological Society’s signature beer and food tasting event, guests will get the chance to sample offerings from a wide selection of local breweries and eateries across three different zones throughout the Zoo.
The grounds offer a serene and sprawling atmosphere where guests can wander through various habitats. During certain seasons, the area transforms with colorful light displays that can be enjoyed from a vehicle.ambiance_potoo
