Zoobilation at Seneca Park Zoo

Join us for our largest fundraising night of the year! Sip and savor local partners on our Tasting Trail, enjoy animal enrichment demonstrations, make a bid at our live auction, and learn how you can help connect, care for, and conserve wildlife and wild places.

Discover What Lies Beneath

We are thrilled to host Zoobilation at Seneca Park Zoo, where we offer a truly unique evening outdoors uplifting the success of our education and conservation programs. Explore zoo grounds as you enjoy food and drink tastings from our local partners on the Tasting Trail, learn something new with an animal encounter and enrichment demonstration, and bid on amazing silent and live auction items. Each year dozens of businesses, civic and philanthropic leaders, and community members gather to support and celebrate our city’s only zoo and growing conservation resource.

Most importantly, through your participation and generosity will be supporting the next generation of conservation leaders.

Thank you to our attendees, our sponsors, and our staff!
