Como After Hours Tickets Available Now!
Spend a balmy spring evening exploring Como, and leave the crowds—and the kids—behind. Como After Hours is Como Friends’ adults-only event to benefit the gardens, animals, and free access you love at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory.
Little Explorers is a FREE program from 10:00AM-noon on Thursdays in the Visitor Center in the Winter and on the zoo grounds in the Summer. Perfect for the 1-3 year old (but every age is welcome) to see story time, play games and many other fun activities. Different theme each week! An ASL interpreter will be here most Thursdays interpreting the 10:30 story time, 11am zookeeper talk, and the 11:30am Blaze Sparky and Friends presentation.
Honoring the spirit of Earth Day is part of our mission every day at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory, where our annual Party for the Planet, powered by Xcel Energy is a two-day weekend celebration on April 25 and 26. Bring the family for a fun, hands-on weekend dedicated to pollinators, plants, and the power of community action.

Senior Strolls and Sunset Senior Strolls are special times set aside just for those 55-and-better. This is an opportunity to visit the Conservatory for a leisurely walk before or after our busy normal business hours, as well as special activities and guests. This event is a great opportunity for Seniors to enjoy a less crowded experience that encourages being active and social with some adult learning to spice it up.
Como Park Zoo and Conservatory is an energetic, colorful place full of sensory stimuli, and we know this environment can be overwhelming for some guests. This is a time designed for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families to explore the zoo without the crowds. Como strives to provide a positive, welcoming experience for every visitor.
