Sustainable Table @ the Zoo
September 25 | 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Celebrate harvest with an evening of seasonal food and an exploration of the way seasons and the effects of climate change impact how humans and animals eat. We’ll begin the evening with informative chats about the way Zoo animals are affected by the seasons when in their natural range, how Seneca Park Zoo provides for these daily needs, and then hear about how seasonality alters how we eat locally.

Farmhouse Table Food will provide a locally sourced four course family style menu with selections for a variety of palates and diets. Your ticket includes afterhours access to the Zoo, a delicious menu, and a donation to the Zoo Society. Dinner begins at 6pm. Guests must be 21+, cash bar available. Omnivore, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available.
