Discover Your Own Backyard - Philadelphia Zoo - Summer Ale Festival

Philadelphia Zoo Summer Ale Fest The Philadelphia Zoo Summer Ale Fest is back and it is one of those experiences that feels too special not to share early. This is a rare chance to explore the zoo after hours while enjoying specialty brews, live music, and food trucks in a lively summer atmosphere.

Right now, tickets are deeply discounted if purchased before February 1. General admission tickets are $39 instead of $89.

There is a one dollar service fee per ticket and the discount applies automatically at checkout.

This is a 21 and older event where you can sip craft beverages, enjoy live entertainment, wander through the zoo in the evening, and even spot animals like big cats and great apes along the way. It truly is such a unique and memorable way to spend a summer night.

I normally do not post events this far in advance, but this savings is absolutely worth planning ahead for. If this sounds like your kind of evening, consider grabbing your ticket now and treating your future summer self to something special. Ticket prices increase after February 1

Event details Saturday July 18, 2026 7 pm to 10 pm Philadelphia Zoo 21 and older event
