Brew at the Zoo and Wine Too

From Mike Unger, About.com GuideMay 20, 2009

Follow me on:

It's a big weekend (insert giraffe joke here) at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.

Bands, food, beer, wine, and wild animals. What a combination.

Saturday and Sunday, from 1:00-6:00 p.m. you can sample local cuisine, craft beer, wine from local vineyards, watch cooking demonstrations, and visit the Kids Zone all while roaming the zoo's grounds and checking out its full-time residents. PBS Kids personalities Miss Rosa and the Science Kid will be there on Saturday (with Miss Rosa making an encore appearance on Sunday), and Teddy Folkman, a finalist on The Next Food Network Star will be cooking with beer on Saturday.

Tickets, available online or at the gate, are $45 for non-members, $30 for members, $20 for non-member children and designated drivers, and $10 for member children and member designated drivers. I've never been to this particular event, but I did go to a similar one at the zoo in Tampa, and I can tell you it was a blast. All proceeds benefit the zoo and its conservation programs.
