Backyard Bash
Join us AFTER HOURS for this summer FUNdraiser!
The Lake Superior Zoo is celebrating summer with a brand new FUNdraising event!
Join us for live music, yard games, raffles and more. Bring your friends and family, but don’t forget to come hungry as there will be plenty to eat from local food trucks and the Safari Café! Enjoy a local brew by Blacklist Brewing or a cocktail from the Other Place and explore the Zoo after-hours like never before! Be sure to try your luck at one of our raffles and spend the evening getting up-close with animal friends like Tundra and Banks the brown bears and Gnocchi & Pesto the new baby Pygmy slow lorises. Whatever you do – don’t miss this summer bash because who doesn’t love bears, beers, and backyard fun 🐻
