Brew at the Zoo

It’s the annual event you love PLUS a new event you’re going to go wild for! Enjoy an adults-only evening of live music and a free sampling from more than 38 local breweries and wineries, plus food trucks available to tame your belly's roar! Your 2023 Brew at the Zoo ticket also includes access to GloWild: Around the World, Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium's immersive lantern festival featuring a 1-mile walk through handmade steel and silk sculpture works depicting animals, botanicals, and more.

Each year, Brew at the Zoo features an animal that benefits from the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium's Conservation Fund, which aims to preserve wildlife at home and around the globe. In 2023, we are hanging with the Bornean orangutan! The Zoo participates in conservation project(s) to help assess the reason for the species’ decline in order to reverse the trend and also protect other animals from the same fate. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit the Conservation Fund’s work and help this vulnerable species and others. So it just makes “scents” for you to buy your tickets today!
