Programs & Events

The Minnesota Zoo is currently offering limited public on-site and virtual programming and events. We remain committed to fostering connections between people and the natural world to save wildlife and are actively developing programming that fits the needs of our community during these changing times. Please find available program details below.

Farm Babies - April 30 - June 5
The babies are on the way! This year, our annual Farm Babies celebration will take place from April 30 - June 5. With goat kids, lambs, piglets, and calves expected to be born in April and May, this will provide the animals with more opportunities to be outside, as the weather is predictably warmer during those months. More Information.

Farm Nights - May 7, 20 and June 4
Come on down for Farm Nights at the Minnesota Zoo. With live music, fire pits, lawn games, festive food and drink – it’s going to be a real hootenanny! (Adults 21+) More Information.
