Idaho Falls Zoo hosting series of events in September
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - The Idaho Falls Zoo is hosting a series of events during September.
Sept. 2 is the Last Sippin’ Safari of this Season: "Join us for this year’s last chance to experience Sippin’ Safari. Friday, Sept. 2 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., come enjoy an evening strolling the zoo and listening to the live music of Two Bald Guys with your family. You’ll have the opportunity to purchase adult and non-alcoholic drinks, so bring your ID, and all ages are welcome. Admission is $10 for the public ages 3 and up, $5 for zoo members ages 3 and up, and children 2 and under can enjoy the zoo for free. Tickets can be purchased before the event a https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/tpzs-2022-events-50999. As a fundraiser, zoo memberships aren’t valid for entry."
Sept. 9: Dueling Pianos: This is a new event at the zoo. Dueling Pianos is a fun, energetic musical showdown coming to your zoo. Grab a drink, request your favorite song, and enjoy the musical feud that ensues. Just follow these guidelines for a wildly good time:
- BRING CASH: This is an ALL-request piano show. We need your songs to make it a party. Pick good, fun, sing-along songs that everyone will enjoy. Tips turn a song "suggestion" into a "request." All money raised goes directly to support your zoo and your energy and generosity are much appreciated.
- Want to stop a song that’s playing? For $1 more than the original request, you can stop any song. (Example... If they are playing "Frozen's Let it Go" and you would rather hear AC/DC’s “Back in Black” pay them $1 more than the "Frozen" request, and they'll immediately start playing AC/DC. No questions asked). Of course, a song can always be started back up again for $1 more than the "stopped” song.
You must be at least 21 to attend Dueling Pianos, no exceptions. Be aware the show will contain adult humor and content, and it’s all for a great cause—your zoo. Buy tickets at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dueling-pianos-tickets-264799240657?aff=odcleoeventsincollection
