Catering at the Zoo

Happy New Year! Let’s take a look at some of our highlights from 2020! The events team and Catering at the Zoo hosted many virtual and in-person events this past year, including some socially distanced weddings, the virtual Art Gone Wild Auction, the virtual Zoo to You program, socially distanced Adventure Day at Explorer’s Outpost, the virtual Brew to You Happy Hour, the opening of the Amur Leopard Woodland, and more. We also welcomed numerous animals this year, including In...iko the patas monkey, Tellaro the giant pacific octopus, Marcy the snow leopard, Cuatro the humbolt penguin, Liberty the American bison, Daphne and Daisy the degus, the four markhor Golden Girls, and more! 2020 was a very different and sometimes tough year for the zoo, so thank you for supporting us through it all! We can’t wait to hold more events and make more memories in 2021!
