IOU Zoo Brew...
By Sara Hollerich
The zoo brew was is a phenomenon I was not familiar with until last year. I am not really sure when it started but it was pretty cool. The zoo opens its brew at 5:30. We didn’t get there until a bit later 6:30ish. Next time I will go a bit earlier. The exhibits started to shut down not long after we arrived.
When you first walk into the zoo you have the opportunity to purchase a beer or their drink of the night. Ours was a margarita. They have a band playing near the entrance which you can hear throughout the zoo. Then you’re welcomed to walk around the zoo and watch the animals. It is sort of a unique experience because they are closing down the exhibits for the day and are feeding the animals. We watched the lions tear into their five pounds of ground beef.
If we would have gotten their earlier we could have seen more of the animals and even fed a giraffe. Too bad! Some of the indoor exhibits were open a while longer. The night we were there everyone was invited to watch Survivor on the big screen TV inside a big tent they had set up.
It was fun and I would do it again but arrive closer to 5:30 so I could enjoy the animals. Not just the attention loving Lama in the petting zoo who was searching us for food.
We wrapped up the evening with a trip to Robin’s Wood Oven grill for dinner and called it a night.
