Zoofari 2025 is Zoofari like you’ve never experienced before — a wonder-filled evening under the wild stars of Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium.
This reimagined celebration is more than a party, it’s one of the Zoo’s most important fundraising events, raising vital support to conserve, nurture and sustain all life that roams under our glittering night sky. Every ticket, every auction bid and every bite shared helps ensure our diverse world remains wild, thriving and free.
This is no sit-down soiree. Gala guests will embark on an unforgettable journey on foot through the Zoo, exploring themed event zones brought to life with immersive entertainment, gourmet food, up-close wildlife encounters and a truly special silent auction.
Zoofari 2025 is an adults-only event for guests ages 21 and over.
Zoofari is all about elevated party style meets safari adventure! We encourage guests to embrace festive, fashion-forward looks while keeping comfort in mind for an evening of exploring the Zoo.
Here’s what we recommend:
Party Attire with a Wild Twist – Think cocktail attire meets outdoor chic. Bold prints, metallics, and playful patterns are welcome, and we especially love a good animal print moment (zebra, cheetah, snake, or peacock-inspired, take your pick!). This is your chance to dress up while still feeling free to move and have fun. Stylish & Comfortable Footwear is a Must – This is a walking event across zoo paths, grass, and hills so comfortable shoes (like sneakers, platform sandals, or dressy flats) are strongly encouraged. You’ll be on your feet for much of the night, and we want you to enjoy every step in style and comfort. For the Gents: “Shorts Tuxedo” Style Encouraged – Skip the full suit and have some fun! We suggest a fashion-forward spin on formal: tailored shorts or slacks paired with a short-sleeve button-down shirt, or even a playful bow tie. Add a blazer if you’d like, but warm-weather style is welcome! Think red carpet meets safari lodge.
