You’re Invited to Sunset Affair, A Celebration of Nature’s Palette—to explore the sights and sounds of Como like never before
Join us for Como Friends’ Sunset Affair, a celebration of the colorful and diverse animals, plants, and people that all come together at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory.
Wander through lush flower gardens bursting with fragrance, mingle with majestic animals, sip cocktails, and connect with friends at Como’s iconic campus, beloved by generations of Minnesotans. From the delicate petals of the season’s stunning water lilies, to the racing stripes on Como Zoo’s rambunctious tiger cub twins, every corner of Como is coming alive with the colors, sounds, scents, and brilliance of nature’s design.
Enjoy immersive experiences with Como’s outstanding educators and our Nature Walk youth volunteer team. Learn the secrets of caregiving at Como from our dedicated zookeepers and horticulturists. And bid on wild and whimsical auction items curated exclusively for Como Friends by our generous community of supporters.
Thanks for joining us at Sunset Affair—it turned into an unforgettable evening, with nature truly stealing the spotlight!
