Celebrate summer at the zoo Fridays through August at ZooNights! Each evening is filled with live music, food carts, keeper chats and activities for all ages. Plus, animal encounters offer the chance to get to know wildlife up close. Experience the zoo after hours, with plenty of tasty treats like the zoo’s ever-popular elephant ears, as well as local beer and wine for adults.

There’s no better place to enjoy a summer night in Portland. Take a stroll through the beautifully forested grounds or spread out a blanket in the amphitheater and enjoy live music. Every ticket purchased helps the Oregon Zoo protect endangered species at home and around the world. Gather friends, bring the family or take a date and come together for wildlife this summer at ZooNights!
