Brew at the Zoo has been postponed from June 8 to August 24, 2024, due to unforeseen circumstances. While the animals are disappointed they won’t get to see you, they look forward to welcoming you in August. Everyone who purchased tickets will be fully refunded. Please watch for details about ticket sales for the Aug. 24 event.  In the meantime, the Santa Fe Teaching Zoo is a wonderful place to visit in the summer, and is open daily from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.  Find visitor information on our website: sfcollege.edu/zoo
