The Hogle Zoo Rendezvous is usually a gala event, open to only a few. This year, it’s open to everyone! While keepers introduce you to crowd favorites like the polar bears, attendees can snack at home and bid on some incredible auction items.
Here’s how you can join your favorite animals for a night of fun on September 10th!
Hogle Zoo Rendezvous Online
First, you can respond to the Facebook Event to get reminders and updates. The live stream event will start at 6:45 PM on September 10th, at this online event page. The live stream will include feedings with keepers, training sessions, and live animal art!
The Rendezvous also includes an incredible online auction, with some one-of-a-kind items that you can preview here. Items include special tours, a sleepover IN the zoo, and art created by some of the animals. If you’ve ever wanted an “elephant kiss” hanging on your wall, this is the time to get one! The auction includes beautiful handmade items from local (human) artists as well, plus some fun tickets to local attractions and restaurants.
