Let’s raise a glass to all the animals that make our trips to the zoo amazing each time we go. And while we’re at it, let’s make sure that glass is full of something tasty.

On Thursday, Sept. 21, the Little Rock Zoo will once again host its annual Zoo Brew, but this time, it's adding mixed drinks to the menu. The 2023 "Zoo Brew and Cocktails, Too" will be a night dedicated to celebrating delicious beverages, food and of course, exotic animals.

Guests will have the opportunity to taste dozens of craft brews and cocktails, which will go perfectly with the live music, games and local food trucks in attendance. 

And because it wouldn’t be a true zoo experience without its main attraction, make sure you spend some time getting to know a few animals from the educational outreach program. We’ve got our fingers crossed for a penguin visit.

Proceeds from Zoo Brew and Cocktails, Too go to the Arkansas Zoological Foundation in support of the zoo. Tickets are available online or at the door.
