Member Annual Picnic

Each July we host the ever popular member’s annual picnic at the Dakota Zoo. A menu of hamburgers, hotdogs, chips,  and beverages will be available free of charge to our valued members. This is our way of saying thank you to those who support us so faithfully. The front gates will close at 3:00 p.m. and the grounds cleared so that the Zoo can be made ready for this huge event. Gates reopen at 4:00 p.m. and the food will be available until 7:00 pm. Please have your current season membership card and photo ID available to speed up your entrance into the Zoo.

Date and Time:

July 15, 2025, 4:00-7:00 PM

Admission:

Admission is free for Dakota Zoo members. Dakota Zoo members with a family plus pass must pay for any guest meal tickets ($1.00 per ticket). Be sure to check the Schedule of Events for dates and times.
