Members, join us on Friday, October 9th, from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. for Wake & Learn to learn about Creepy Crawlies (LIVE ANIMALS)!
The last two weekends in October are all set for spooky, family fun! Visit vendors, collect candy, giveaways, and more! Dress up as your favorite characters, goblins, witches, and ghosts and we will see you SOON!

REVEAL DAY IS COMING... 👀
THE BREW FORECAST IS LOOKING GOOD! 👀
There’s finally going to be a break from the 100-degree days, just in time for Brew at the Zoo this Saturday. Expect temperatures in the mid-’80s, just like our outfits.
The forecast also calls for a 100% chance of good times, with scattered showers of live music, great drinks, food trucks and activities all night long.
As the sun goes down, expect cooler temps and a strong possibility of not wanting the night to end.
Only 3 days left! Grab your tickets now: https://topekazoo.org/zoo-events/brew-at-the-zoo/ and get ready to party ’80s style.
We’ll see you Saturday! 😎
