Members-Only Kids Nights

Zoo Pass and Platypus Circle members are invited to an evening at the Zoo just for them. Enjoy one of three nights filled with entertainment, food trucks and some of your favorite animals. Watch performances by the Main Street Song & Dance Troupe at Generac Zoo Terrace and Kip’s Fun Show at Landmark Landing. And new this year, if you’ve enjoyed seeing Kid Boogie Down at Nights in June in the past, they’ll be performing at Kids Nights this year at the Horicon Bank Flamingo Patio! Don’t miss Wild Willy, who will be juggling as he strolls through the park. Additionally, enjoy entertaining and educational conservation-themed performances presented by Kohl’s Wild Theater. Satisfy your roaring appetite while supporting the animals! Purchase dinner from a variety of local food trucks located throughout the Zoo. Food trucks donate 15% of their proceeds to the Sponsor an Animal program. Food and drinks can also be purchased at the Zoo’s concession stands. Discover fascinating animal facts at biofact carts stationed around the Zoo or take in an animal talk given by Zoo Pride volunteers. Take a tour of the Zoo’s three gardens in the Northwestern Mutual Family Farm – Backyard Bird, Pollinator and Heritage Gardens. Chat with Master Gardener volunteers. Hop aboard the Penzeys Carousel and the North Shore Bank Safari Train (weather permitting) or check out this year’s summer exhibit, Powerful Pollinators, presented by Meijer. Attractions close at 8 p.m. and run at regular prices. This event is only for Zoological Society members and their minor children and/or grandchildren covered on the membership. Zoo Pass and Platypus Circle members park for free! Remaining members who hold a 1-year Basic Zoo Pass do not receive free parking. All passes sold after Feb. 24, 2026, include parking. Please have your Zoo Pass card and photo ID ready for the gate attendants. To accommodate traffic flow at the Zoo, the Zoo Expeditions will not operate.
