The “wildest” party of the year, Zoofari, returns to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium! Zoofari will be held at the Columbus Zoo on Saturday, June 15, 2019. Party like an animal at this annual adult-only festival with nearly 100 of Central Ohio’s best restaurants and bars serving their signature dishes, as well as live music on several stages throughout the zoo from 7 pm – 12 am. Your evening will be spent walking through the Zoo tasting food from fantastic restaurants, sipping drinks, and listening to live music from great bands.

Many of the animals go in for the night and won’t be on view, but select regions will be open until 9 pm.
If you want to help out and save money on your admission, you can volunteer for a 3 hour shift and enjoy the rest of the event outside of your shift. Check out the volunteer opportunities here (not updated for 2019).
Proceeds benefit conservation and education programs at the Zoo. A portion of the ticket purchase is tax deductible too. Event is 21+ only.
Hi Mary, check at the link for Zoofari in the article or the Zoo website. They’ve always had volunteer opportunities for this, but they weren’t released at the time of publication.
Have volunteered in the past looking to volunteer again will there be any opportunities?
