Connect with wildlife and friends during these one-of-a-kind events occurring every third Thursday, April through September. Sip and Stroll tickets on sale now.
Plan your Thursday nights around spectacular sunsets, cool cocktails and wondrous wildlife with the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden’s third annual, adult-only evening event series, Sip and Stroll. Presented by COOP Ale Works, Sip and Stroll occurs every third Thursday beginning April 21 and continuing through September 15, from 6-10 p.m. Revelers 21 and older are invited to explore the majority of the Zoo to discover amazing animals and exclusive experiences while savoring delicious drinks inspired by exotic wildlife and wild places throughout the night.
Sip and Stoll features six watering holes with three brand-new locations that highlight the OKC Zoo’s conservation projects both locally and globally. Guests will discover custom cocktails such as The Long Neck and Spotted In Namibia at these wildly themed drink locations that focus on destinations including Madagascar, Tanzania and Namibia. While visiting each watering hole, guests will have an opportunity to learn more about what the Zoo is doing to protect and preserve the natural world through global conservation partnerships with the Wildlife Trafficking Alliance, Cheetah Conservation Fund and others.
“Sip and Stroll continues to grow in popularity and is becoming an event favorite among our adult patrons,” said Jenna Dodson, OKC Zoo’s events manager.
There are more things to see and do while sipping and strolling through the Zoo! Sip and Stroll admission provides attendees with access to a variety of exclusive Zoo attractions including a sea lion presentation, Stingray Bay, the Endangered Species Carousel, an elephant presentation, karaoke, lawn games and more. With each Sip and Stroll event, guests can also get up-close to the Zoo’s gentle giants and partake in the giraffe feeding experience for an additional $5/person. Capacity is limited for these attractions so guests are encouraged to plan accordingly.
