Sunset Affair

Como Park Zoo & Conservatory is so much more than a zoo and botanical garden. Como is a cultural treasure and a true community resource that is a free and welcoming oasis for everyone.

Join us as we “Discover Como” all over again at Como Friends’ Sunset Affair, a casual summer gala to celebrate the extraordinary animals and plants, exciting education programs, and exceptional keepers and horticulturists who connect our community to the beauty and wonder of the natural world.

Explore the sights and sounds of Como like never before at Sunset Affair. Stroll through the rainforest in Tropical Encounters, the coastal landscape of Como Harbor, and the lowland of Gorilla Forest. Get up close to giraffes, polar bears and orangutans. Hear lions roaring, zebras braying and wolves howling while dining al fresco and bidding on amazing auction items. Enjoy programs, activities and animal ambassadors that highlight what community support makes possible every day at Como Park Zoo and Conservatory.

Gather your friends, reserve your preferred ticket option, and get ready to “Discover Como” anew on July 20!
