Nightlife Meets Wildlife at Denver Zoo

On the evening of Thursday, June 21, Denver Zoo will transform into the city’s most coveted dining and entertainment destination for Do At The Zoo presented by Anadarko. Guests will have the opportunity to roam around the Zoo after hours to graze on savory sample dishes and spirits from more than 60 of Denver’s best restaurants, breweries and distilleries, enjoy live music from local bands and get up-close to some of the Zoo’s furry, feathered and scaly residents. Tickets for Do At The Zoo are $175 per person, and include unlimited sample dishes and open bar.

Proceeds from the event benefit “What We Do at the Zoo,” including providing exceptional care and enrichment for 4,000 animals; creating awe-inspiring experiences for more than 2 million visitors annually; bringing science education to life for more than 225,000 school children; and continuing our longstanding and critical work protecting wild animals and wild places in Colorado and around the world. In its 28-year history, Do At The Zoo has raised more than $13 million to improve Denver Zoo and support its various initiatives.

“Do At The Zoo supports all of the Zoo’s priorities, from animal welfare within our gates and the protection of wildlife globally, to educational programming and guest experience,” said Rob Kaufmann, who is co-chairing the event along with his wife, Jen Gilbert-Kaufmann. “The Zoo is a unique and exceptional venue for a dining and entertainment event, and it’s always exciting to see the community turn out to support such an important community asset.”
