Sept 19, 9am to 3pm: the herd is celebrating the 
Wildlife & Nature Festival. 
Pardon our progress. Our Playground and Petting Zoo areas are under construction.
One of the Topeka Zoo’s most anticipated adults-only events is back! This year we’re turning the Zoo into the ultimate ’80s rock party.
Celebrate the connection between people, wildlife and the natural world through hands-on activities, educational experiences and opportunities for guests to take action for conservation.
Mark your calendar for October 2 and join us for Love Your Zoo Giving Day! Your gift, no matter the size, helps provide exceptional animal care, inspiring education, conservation efforts and memorable experiences at YOUR Topeka Zoo & Conservation Center. Every gift makes a difference, and every gift helps our Zoo thrive!
Celebrate the history, community, and conservation that make Gage Park and the Topeka Zoo so special at Gage Park Founders Fest & Topeka Zoo Celebration Day on October 3, 2026.
The kids usually have all the fun, but now it's your turn! Join us for a new and exciting camp experience for adults!

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! 😎
