Como After Hours

An adults-only evening in support of Como Park Zoo & Conservatory. The kids are tucked in, the crowds have gone home, and Como is all yours.

Experience the magic of the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory and the Charlotte Partridge Ordway Japanese Garden in the twilight glow of fall during this one-of-a-kind 21+ event. Be among the first to explore Part II of the Fall Sunken Garden Flower Show, featuring extraordinary bonsai from Como’s renowned collection surrounded by vibrant chrysanthemums, gorgeous gourds, and delightfully spooky plants. Think hide-and-seek...but this time you’re the seeker.

Wander the gardens in search of hidden gourds, mysterious botanical treasures, graceful schools of koi, and unexpected surprises around every corner. Along the way, meet some of Como’s always-popular Animal Ambassadors, enjoy interactive activity stations, and connect with the amazing Como team members and volunteers who bring this beloved space to life every day.

Sip, stroll, and savor the evening with eats from local food trucks, adult beverages, and all the beauty, charm, and autumn magic you love about Como—without the crowds or the kids. Gather your friends, plan a unique date night, or simply treat yourself to an unforgettable evening celebrating fall at Como.

General Admission tickets are $45 per person. Como Friends members are eligible for $5 off full price tickets.

Como After Hours supports best practices in animal care, funds improvements to exhibits and gardens, and ensures barrier-free access to Como for all.
