Zootoberfest

Oktoberfest is coming to the zoo—because beer gardens have always needed more giraffes. The brand-new Zootoberfest takes over the L.A. Zoo September 19 and 20 with German-inspired food, giant pretzels, specialty beers, root beer floats, live Oktoberfest bands, lawn games, a braid bar, themed photo ops and plenty of fall vibes. Admission to the family-friendly celebration is included with your general admission zoo ticket. Food and drinks are available for purchase, so come for the animals, stay for the pretzels.
