From the north pole to the south, and every compass point in between, the beauty and diversity of our planet is as boundless as the stars above. Join Como Friends as we gather again under the night sky for Sunset Affair: Stargazing, a benefit to celebrate the animals, plants and people that make Como Park Zoo & Conservatory a natural wonder.

Polar bears, penguins and puffins will be the star players at Sunset Affair, the summer gala that supports the extraordinary access, educational programs and natural encounters that make Como Minnesota’s most visited cultural destination.

Gather your friends, reserve your preferred ticket option, and get ready to go “Stargazing” at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory on July 20!

Under the stars, you’ll see Como Park Zoo & Conservatory as few people do, with up-close encounters with animal ambassadors, fascinating talks from Como Zoo’s keepers and horticulturists, and the chance to bid on the amazing, only-at-Como Silent Auction items that have made our summer gala a can’t-miss moment for so many.
