Summer Ale Festival at the Philadelphia Zoo
Lions & Tigers & Beers, Oh My! The WILDEST beer festival in Philly returns to the Philadelphia Zoo this summer!
With more than 100 award-winning craft beers, ciders, hard iced teas, hard seltzers, local food trucks, and live music at the Zoo’s 42-acre campus, this event promises to be the wildest festival of the season! Summer Ale Festival is the only beer celebration in the region where guests can visit animals like big cats, great apes, and more. Experience a different side of the Zoo at this one-of-a-kind, adults-only event!
Summer Ale Fest is limited to those 21 or older with valid identification. Tickets are available exclusively through the Zoo’s website and will not be available for purchase at the door. Taps close at 9:30 pm.
In addition to adult bevs, there will be food trucks and live music on hand to entertain the crowds. If taking an Uber or Lyft, the Zoo’s rideshare drop-off and pick-up location is on 34th Street, near the front entrance of the Zoo. Free parking for Summer Ale Fest is located in the Zoo Garage at 35th Street and Girard Avenue, and the Tiger Lot on 34th Street. Parking directions can be found here.
