Animal Crackers Home | Pre-Ordering Beverages | Tips for Concert-Goers | Weather Policy

1. Be sure to bring everything you need to the concert. Once on campus, you are unable to leave and return without purchasing another ticket. Picnic dinners are allowed. No open fires or grills are allowed on concert day. Food and beverages may be purchased at the event in the General Rental Crackers Café. A portion of all purchases are donated to the Zoo.

2. Municipal ordinance states that persons are not allowed to carry in any alcohol beverages.  All bags or coolers brought into the Zoo will be searched and alcoholic beverages will be held until the end of the concert.  Beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, are available for purchase on concert grounds.  Proof of age for alcoholic beverage purchases is required.  Proceeds from the sale of beverages at concerts help support the Racine Zoo.

3. Pre-orders of wine and liquor can be made through Timer’s Beverage Center. Orders must be placed the day prior to the concert by 9:00 p.m. and may be picked up at the concert. To place an order, call 262.637.2704.

4. Persons are encouraged to clean up their area when leaving. Litter barrels and recycling bins are located throughout the grounds.

5. Children 12 years of age and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times and kept under supervision.  Children 4 years of age and under are admitted free of charge.

6. Courtesy during the performances is required. We ask that you talk quietly if you must talk at all.  Volunteers are instructed to escort any disruptive concert-goer off the grounds.  We want everyone to enjoy the concerts and ask for your help and consideration toward others and the performers.

7. Gates open at 5:30 p.m.  Concerts begin at 7:00 p.m. and end at approximately 9:00 p.m. The Zoo grounds close 30 minutes after the concert.

8. Beverages and food are available for purchase by ticket only. Tickets are available for sale at the General Rental Crackers Café in increments of $1.00.
