On May 21, from 5-8 pm, the Potawatomi Zoo is hosting the annual food and beverage sampling event, Eat and Drink at the Zoo. Vendors from around the local region will be at the Zoo to share samples of their products.

This event is for adults 21 and over. The Zoo will close to the public at 1 pm for this event.

“We believe the Zoo is for everyone, and events like this give our adult visitors a chance to try something new at the Zoo,” says Josh Sisk, executive director of the Potawatomi Zoo. “We love inviting the community to different kinds of experiences at the Zoo, and there are plenty of cool new things to see and do at this year’s Eat and Drink.”

Tickets are $85 per person and includes all food and drink samples, plus unlimited rides on the Potawatomi Zoo Express and Endangered Species Carousel.

There are a limited number of VIP tickets available for $125. VIP tickets include early entry, an exclusive animal encounter, and a specialty cocktail, as well as exclusive food samples.

In addition to the tasting samples, the Zoo will have a DJ and photobooth from VOX events, artist Dennis Anderson, and two live musical guests: The Abbie Thomas Trio and Jake from Starheart. There will also be special Zoo Keeper Chats with giraffes, otters, and red pandas.

“We’re so excited to bring in some of our favorite food and beverages for this unique event, as well as showing off our own expanded Zoo catering,” says Lindy Dreher, the Zoo’s special events manager. “This is an event that gives people plenty of space to walk at their own pace, try some great samples, and get to see the Zoo animals in the evening.”

Some of the vendors include Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Fresh Thyme Market, Franky’s Tacos, St. Julian’s Vineyard, Ironhand Vineyard, Allie’s Café and Catering, Kekionga Cider, and more.

Tickets must be purchased online at www.potawatomizoo.org/eatdrink. They will not be available at the gate.
