Located at 7401 SW 9th St in Des Moines, Blank Park Zoo doubles as a lively event destination where wildlife, music, and community programming come together. The zoo’s mix of outdoor lawns, shady pathways, and intimate exhibit areas creates a rare setting for memorable nights out and family-friendly days. Easy to reach from downtown with ample on-site parking, it is a convenient spot to catch seasonal happenings and special after-hours gatherings.
Signature events bring the grounds to life. Zoo Brew pairs live music with local sips for a relaxed, 21-plus night under the stars. Families flock to Night Eyes for festive trick-or-treating and colorful décor. In spring and summer, Wild Lights transforms the zoo with illuminated sculptures that glow along walkways. Throughout the year, expect conservation-focused fundraisers, keeper chats, and pop-up activities that make every visit feel personal and new. Accessible paths, stroller-friendly routes, and plenty of concessions keep the experience easy from arrival to encore.
