This weekend, the Potawatomi Zoo welcomed more than 1,600 guests for its annual Brew at the Zoo event, selling out for another year of fun. Adults aged 21 and older enjoyed the unique opportunity to sample drinks from local breweries while exploring the zoo’s exhibits, proving that the zoo isn’t just for kids.

Attendees were able to appreciate new exhibits, music, and wildlife, all while savoring dozens of drink selections in a lively, festive atmosphere. Events like these aim to offer a fresh perspective for adults to relive their childhood memories at the zoo while enjoying new experiences.

"Many adults tell me, ‘I don’t have kids, why would I come to the zoo?’ But this event gives them a reason to come and experience everything we’ve updated and enjoy the wildlife," said Josh Sisk, the zoo’s Executive Director.

The event’s success highlights the growing appeal of community-centered activities at the zoo, proving it to be a welcoming space for all ages.
