Win 2 tickets to the Cleveland Zoo’s newest event Date Night at the ZOOvies!
Last Friday night, Cleveland descended on the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo for Twilight at the Zoo. The sold-out crowd enjoyed drinks, food from restaurants like AMP150, hanging out with the Zoo’s animals and rocking out to 18 bands.
Best of all, the event – which was presented by Cleveland SCENE magazine and hosted by the Cleveland Zoological Society – raised $560,000 for one of Cleveland’s most-popular attractions!
If you missed Twilight at the Zoo or didn’t get your fill of the Zoo that evening, the Cleveland Zoological Society is giving us a second chance to party at the Zoo this August.
On Friday, August 24, the Cleveland Zoological Society is hosting its first-ever Date Night at the ZOOvies.
The Zoo’s newest event starts at 7pm and will feature an evening of animal encounters, networking, drinks, and a classic movie under the stars.
At the ZOOvies and other Zoo events, you can get up close and personal with some of the animals like this owl.
From 7-8:30 p.m., guests will be able to stroll through the Australian Adventure and African Savanna exhibits while enjoying Great Lakes beer, wine and light appetizers. Plus, many of the Zoo’s animals will be out and about to meet.
When the sun goes down at 8:30 p.m., guests are invited to bring a blanket or grab a seat in the Zoo’s outdoor ampitheater to enjoy a classic film.
For their first Date Night at the ZOOvies, the Cleveland Zoo Society took to their Facebook page and polled fans on which movie they wanted to see. The winner, as chosen by Facebook fan votes, was John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club.
Tickets are $30 for one person and $50 for 2 (which includes entry to the Zoo, plus drinks and the film). Buy your Date Night at the ZOOvies tickets here.
And as promised a couple weeks ago, I’m also giving away a pair of tickets!
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo’s Australian Adventure – one of my favorite exhibits – will be open to guests during Date Night at the ZOOvies

-Favorite 80’s movie. I agree w/ you, I love anything John Hughes too! I’m also a fan of Dirty Dancing, Risky Business, the Back to the Future Series, etc. I think one of my favorites will always be Sixteen Candles though, just has that nostalgia feel from watching it as a kid.
I followed you on WordPress – does that count for #5?
Yes it does! Enjoy your Friday!

One of my favorite 80’s movies is definitely The Lost Boys. I’m a huge fan of old horror flicks. Plus Kiefer’s bleach blonde mullet is classic!
