What is Ales & Tails?

Ales & Tails, Ross Park Zoo’s exclusive happy hour event, supports primate conservation efforts with a portion of each ticket sold.

Through Ales & Tails, our goal is to raise $10,000 to support primates and promote the Captive Primate Safety Act, which aims to eliminate private ownership of primates. Help us reach our goal in 2024!

Join us at the only event in town where you can make a difference for primates, just by attending.
