Our venue is sometimes standing-room-only, offering an energetic and immersive concert experience. However, there are a limited number of tables, chairs, and barstools available, which are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. If you prefer a seat during the show, we recommend arriving early to secure one. The Zoo opens daily at 3:00. A reminder: a ticket does not guarantee a seat; it only guarantees admittance.
