Get ready for a wildly fun dance party at the Zoo to celebrate MOM!
PURCHASE TICKETS HERE

The Mom & Wild Things Mother’s Day Dance is a special evening designed for moms and their favorite Wild Things (sons and daughters of all ages). The dance will be held on Saturday, May 9, from 6 pm – 8 pm.

Dance the night away with a live DJ spinning family-friendly favorites while moms and their wild things show off their best moves on the dance floor. When you need a break from dancing, grab a tasty treat at our Popcorn Bar, get creative at the Arts & Crafts Station, and enjoy a special animal presentation featuring some of the Zoo’s amazing residents. You will even have the chance to meet some of the Zoo’s special animal ambassadors.

Whether you’re twirling with your daughter, showing your son your best dance moves, or simply enjoying a magical evening together, this event is all about celebrating the special bond between moms and their wild things.

Put on your safari-chic outfits, or your favorite jeans, bring your biggest smiles, and join us for a roaring good time celebrating Moms.

Mom = any important woman who makes your family great.

The event will be held rain or shine inside the Zoo’s covered event center. Access to the zoo during the event will be limited to the event center area.
