Join us on October 5, 2023 from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. for a fun-filled evening at Como.
This 21+, after-hours event is geared towards adults who love Como and want to explore without the crowds or the kids. Gather your friends and spend an evening meandering through Como in a new way. You’ll have the chance to hear from Educators, Horticulturists, and Zookeepers about how their work here at Como is critical to protecting endangered species all over the world.
Festivities include a cash bar, concessions, conservation talks, activities, and all the plants and animals you love at Como. Put together a team and take part in the Conservation Quest, a fun digital scavenger hunt all around the Zoo and Conservatory and win the chance to feed a giraffe!
The animals at Como Zoo go to bed a little earlier when we move into fall, so the zoo habitats and grounds will close at 7:00 p.m. The Marjorie McNeely Conservatory and Visitor Center will remain open for the duration of the event, including The Ordway Gardens. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the beauty and tranquility of the Charlotte Partridge Ordway Japanese Garden at twilight, complete with the rich fall colors of the maples and lush green pine trees.
Proceeds from Como Quest: Wild Conservation support best practices in animal care, fund improvements to exhibits and gardens, and ensure barrier-free access to Como for all. When purchasing your ticket, you will have a chance to make a donation to support all this and more! Advance donations of $20 and up will include a drink ticket, redeemable for a beverage at the bar.
General Admission tickets are $40. Como Friends members are eligible for $5 off full price tickets.
