Get Ready to Party Like an Animal at Jazzoo!

Get ready for a wild night at the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium! Jazzoo returns on June 6th from 7:30pm-midnight.

• Party Like an Animal: Jazzoo is the wildest fundraiser in town, with all proceeds from the evening providing for the animals and educational opportunities at the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium. Guests enjoy unlimited food & drink, live entertainment, and after-hours access to the zoo grounds.

• Get Wild: Jazzoo is a 21+ event and happens rain or shine. The food & drink lineup includes some of the best in local restaurants, bars, musical talent, and entertainment. The attire is “creative black tie”, so dig deep in your closet to find that leopard-print dress!

We were able to attend last year’s Jazzoo, and trust us, it was a roaring good time! Get your tickets HERE.
