Prost to a Wild Good Time! 🍻🐾
Zootoberfest Returns to Hemker Park & Zoo!
Hemker Park & Zoo, together with the Guardians of Conservation, is thrilled to invite you to our 4th Annual Zootoberfest — a wildly fun celebration of German culture, music, and fall festivities happening on Saturday, September 27th, 2025, from 12–5 PM!
Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon filled with:
🎶 Live music by Joe Notch and his Wingmen — enjoy upbeat tunes that’ll have you tapping your feet and dancing through the zoo!
🍺 Tasty German beer (21+) and root beer for all ages — because everyone deserves a bubbly good time!
🦒 Animal adventures — explore the zoo and visit your favorite animals while enjoying all the festive fall fun!
🎟️ Zootoberfest is included with regular zoo admission, so come for the animals and stay for the party!
And best of all — proceeds from Zootoberfest will benefit the nonprofit Guardians of Conservation, helping protect endangered species and support wildlife conservation efforts locally and around the globe.
Throw on your lederhosen or grab a cozy sweater, bring the whole crew, and join us for a zoo-per celebration of fall at Hemker Park & Zoo! 🍂🎉
