Explore Hogle Zoo After Hours At The Adults-Only Zoo Brew In Utah

A day at Hogle Zoo is a whole lot of fun. You get to see all the animals, nosh on cotton candy and nachos, and enjoy watching the little ones explore. But...a night at the zoo is a whole lot of fun, too. The zoo hosts its monthly Zoo Brew to benefit conservation efforts, and it's an adults-only event that gives you a zoo experience unlike any other.

Hogle Zoo is a bustling place full of kids during the day, but after the zoo closes, it's an entirely different experience.

Address: 2600 Sunnyside Avenue, Salt Lake City, UT 84108

Zoo Brew is a monthly event that's just for adults. You can wander through the zoo and visit all the animals without tripping over toddlers or making way for strollers.

During summer months, the animals tend to hole up in their dens to stay cool. In the evening, they're more active, and you'll see them eating, playing, and interacting with each other.

The lions love to roar in the evening hours, and they can put on quite a show. Bring your camera to capture some gorgeous photos of them and the zoo's other residents during golden hour.

You'll also have the opportunity to interact closely with some of the animals and their keepers. When was the last time you fed a giraffe?

While you're exploring the zoo, enjoy a glass of wine or a beer. Zoo Brew is just for adults ages 21 and older, so make sure to bring you I.D.

You'll find all kinds of local craft brews at this event. It's sponsored by Squatters and Wasatch Brewery. Proceeds during Zoo Brew go to conservation efforts, so you're helping animals while having fun!

It might be a lot more quiet without all the kids, but make no mistake - there's plenty going on during Zoo Brew. Enjoy animal demonstrations, live music, tasty meals and snacks and more.

Tickets for Zoo Brew are $18.95, and there are a limited number available for each event. Make sure to purchase yours well in advance.

There are still a few Zoo Brew events in 2019. Mark your calendars for September 18th and October 16th from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
