Sunset Affair

“In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.”—Aristotle

From the feathery gold plumes of the gray crowned cranes, to the rainbow-hued pollinators that bring beautiful gardens into bloom, every corner of Como Park Zoo & Conservatory beckons us to marvel at the wonders of nature.

Join Como Friends as we celebrate the breathtaking diversity of “Our Wild World” at Sunset Affair, the summer gala to benefit the animals and plants of Como Zoo and the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory, and the free access that serves nearly 1.8 million annual visitors.

At “Sunset Affair: Our Wild World,” you’ll experience Como Park Zoo & Conservatory with a new perspective. Your evening will be filled with moments of discovery and captivating facts about the natural world to inspire expressions of “that’s so wild!” Festivities will include fascinating talks from Como Zoo’s keepers and Marjorie McNeely Conservatory horticulturists, and the chance to bid on the amazing, only-at-Como silent auction items that have made Como Friends’ premier event the summer’s hottest ticket for more than two decades.

Gather your friends, reserve your preferred ticket option, and get ready to experience “Our Wild World” at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory on July 18th!
