Late Nights at the Zoo

Join Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium for the last Late Nights at the Zoo of the summer this Thursday, August 18, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. It’s an evening of wildlife, food trucks, drinks and fun.

To celebrate this last “Zoorah” of the summer, the give-away gang will be golf-cart cruising through the Zoo with prizes varying from free beverages to admission tickets for the Zoo and Aquarium. This extra-special night of fun celebrates all our attendees and their support to help us Zoo More Good through education and conservation activities. This evening is for adults only, ages 21 and older

Reserve your tickets now and save $5 per event admission by purchasing online ahead of time. Admission prices increase at the door. You can also save time by pre-purchasing drink tickets online. Drink tickets can now be pre-purchased online with your event admission and you can pick them up at the ticketing kiosks throughout the Zoo. Additional drink tickets will also be sold on-site.
