Summer Ale Fest is limited to those 21 or older with valid identification.

Summer Ale Fest is a fundraiser for the zoo and supports its mission to create joyful discovery and inspire action for animals and habitats.

"We're proud to put on one of the premier beer festivals in the region," said Vice President of Mission, Guest and Community Engagement Cara Treadway. "There's no other place this summer where you'll be able to try more than 100 different beers, ciders and seltzers and experience the breathtaking beauty of nature and wildlife all in one amazing night. More importantly, the proceeds from this fun event support the animals in our care as well as the Zoo’s conservation work and ability to bring under-resourced families to the Zoo that might not otherwise be able to visit. It truly is a special event."
