IDAHO FALLS - As the weather cools down, September is a great time to visit the Idaho Falls Zoo. You won’t want to miss out on any of these fun upcoming events!
September 17: Zoo Brew in Back!
It’s back and better than ever! Adults 21+ can enjoy an evening at the zoo when the animals are active, and the beer is cold thanks to the North American Brewers Association and Tautphaus Park Zoological Society. On Friday, September 17 from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. your ticket will allow you to sample beer around the zoo from local and national breweries. Tickets are $30 in advance online and $35 at the door. Designated drivers are only $25. Tickets will likely sell out so don’t delay, get yours NOW at https://tinyurl.com/3rx3mw79. Attendees MUST be 21 years old and older and show identification for entrance. All proceeds will go to the Tautphaus Park Zoological Society to support a new gift shop and entrance for your “best little zoo in the west.”
September 18: Fluor Idaho’s STEAM Day at the Zoo
Thanks to the generous support of Fluor Idaho, you'll explore science, engineering, art, and innovation in an amazing hands-on experience of interactive STEM-themed stations throughout the zoo on Saturday, September 18 from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. Activities in the zoo are included with your paid zoo admission or TPZS membership.
This spring, 4th and 5th graders from Rexburg, Idaho Falls and Pocatello should have received a cool STEAM-based interactive zoo map at school courtesy of Toyota. If the student brings that map to STEAM Day, the child will get into the zoo for 1/2 price!
September 28: Toyota Driver Tuesday
Calling all Toyota drivers: do we have a deal for you! Thanks to Toyota, we're offering you 50 cent admissions to the driver when you present your Toyota key at admissions during regular zoo hours from 9:30 a.m.to 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 28. This offer is good ONLY for the driver (valid for one admission per person per group holding a Toyota key per event day). Come on over to the zoo and bring your Toyota!
