Safety Precautions
In order to host a fun and safe event for our guests, we have made a few changes to Brew this year:
- Sanitizing stations and 6ft queue lines will be at each brewery throughout the zoo.
- Compostable tasting cups will be at each station to avoid touch points and cross contamination.
- Staff and volunteers will be wearing face masks and gloves for your safety.
- We have limited the event capacity to 350 guests to ensure ample space for social distancing.
- Indoor buildings and play areas will remain closed.
Limited VIP Tickets
