December 31 @ 9:30 am – 12:30 pm EST

Celebrate the new year without losing any sleep! 🎊 Noon Year’s Eve is a kid-friendly celebration that allows youngsters to experience all the fun of welcoming a new year while keeping bedtime in mind – including a dance party, sparkling juice “toast”, countdown, and ball drop at noon.

The festivities begin at 9:30 a.m. with a dance party and fun photo ops. At 11:45 a.m. in the Fountain Plaza, children will receive their free sparkling juice (while supplies last), and parents can purchase their own celebratory beverage for an additional cost. Together, families can ring in the “Noon Year” while watching our mirrorball drop countdown. Guests are free to explore the Zoo after the party.

This special event is free to Zoo members and included with paid Zoo admission. Event is rain or shine.

***NOTE: For the safety of our guests and animals, no confetti poppers will be permitted.
