Brew at the Zoo

Enjoy an adults-only (ages 21+) evening of live music and a free sampling from more than 30 local breweries and wineries, plus food trucks available to tame your belly's roar at Brew at the Zoo! Your 2025 Brew at the Zoo ticket also includes access to GloWild: Time Traveler, Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium's immersive lantern festival featuring a 1-mile walk through handmade steel and silk sculpture works depicting nineteenth-century Paris, the American centennial, a sci-fi-themed trip to the future, and much more!

Each year, Brew at the Zoo highlights an animal supported by the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium’s Conservation Fund, which helps protect wildlife both locally and globally. In 2025, we’re soaring into the treetops with the rhinoceros hornbill! Native to Southeast Asia, this striking bird plays a vital role in forest ecosystems by dispersing seeds and maintaining biodiversity. The Zoo proudly supports conservation efforts that protect hornbills and their habitats. A portion of the proceeds from this event will support the Zoo's Conservation Fund to aid in the protection of vulnerable species such as the rhinoceros hornbill. Don’t miss out—get your tickets today!

For ages 21 and over only. This event is rain or shine. Because this is a fundraiser, tickets are non-refundable but may be used by another person. Brew at the Zoo is a cashless event.
