The Oregon Zoo lights are a holiday tradition for many Oregonians.  While it’s generally considered a family event, for two nights this November it will be open to adults only and called Oregon Brewlights.  Adults will enjoy alcohol tastings as they take in the zoo after dark and the magical lighted holiday displays.  What a great place to go for date night!

Adults Only Brewlight Event

Brewlights will feature more than 1.6 million brightly colored lights.  Visitors will be able to enjoy local beer and wine.  Tickets include a souvenir cup and 10 beer tastings throughout the zoo.  Over 30 local Northwest vendors will be giving samples of local beers, wines, and ciders.  There will also be food available from several popular food trucks, as well as live music and animal sightings.

Event Information

When: Brewlights will take place on Tuesday November 27th and Wednesday November 28th, from 5 pm to 9 pm so adults 21 and over can come and enjoy strolling through forests of lit trees and enjoy 3-D light sculptures.

Tickets: BrewLights tickets cost $34.95 and include zoo admission, a souvenir glass and 10 drink samples (3-oz beer/cider or 2-oz wine); $29.95 for zoo members. Additional drink tickets will be available on site for $2 each.

ZooLights-only tickets are $19.95 and include zoo admission for grown-ups only. While beer & wine will be available for purchase at vending stations throughout the zoo, these tickets do not include the souvenir glass or sampling opportunities.
