Hurry! This event sells out quickly. From Dens to Drafts. Hibernation is Over! This Zoo After Hours event welcomes adults age 21+ for a spring evening among the animals of the Minnesota Zoo. Make it a date night or invite a whole herd of friends for cold drinks, dining, dancing, music, and animal activities. And as you explore every trail, you’ll be joining us in our work to save wildlife across the world.
