Special Events

Special events volunteers support some of the Zoo’s larger annual events. These volunteers participate in single-day opportunities staffing games and activities, greeting guests at the front gate, and even dressing up as costumed characters.

Are you:

• 13 years or older
• Able to attend an event-specific orientation
• Willing to work with people of all ages
• Ready to have fun!

Annual events include:

• Snow Leopard Festival (January)
• Princess and Pirate Weekend (March)
• Boo at the Zoo (October)

Find specific dates on the Zoo’s event calendar.

Please note: volunteer shifts differ from public event hours, and not all Zoo events need volunteers. Event volunteer opportunities will be posted here up to one month before the event.
