WHAT:
After a sellout event in its first year, OktoBEARfest presented by Alaska Airlines returns this fall with a full lineup of the Northwest’s finest brews and ciders. And once again, the ENTIRE zoo will be open to guests…kid free.

OktoBEARfest will feature the region’s finest breweries along with an expanded footprint to encompass the entire zoo and will be an all-day event beginning at 1:00 p.m. In addition to guests enjoying not only their favorite brews but also the zoo and all its animals, this event will feature games and guest activities, ambassador animal programming, special animal keeper talks, tastings beyond brews and so much more.

The Conservation Partner tickets include 15 tastings (with more available for purchase at the zoo), ambassador animal encounters, a commemorative mug and pin, as well as access to award-winning exhibits at the zoo.
