EARLY BIRD TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR SIPPIN’ SAFARI

Signature wine festival returns on September 20  

WHAT: Early birds get a discount on tickets to Sippin’ Safari, Zoo Atlanta’s signature wine festival, returning on Saturday, September 20, 2025. Atlanta’s wildest wine cellar comes uncorked with tastings of a wide selection of varietals and blends from leading winemaking regions; live music; exclusive evening wildlife viewing; and more.  

The Grand Pavilion main stage will welcome We Are The Champions, bringing all the party classics from Queen. Guests will also enjoy Keeper Talks at animal habitats – animals will be in their habitats until roughly dusk – and complimentary rides on the Endangered Species Carousel. A limited selection of beer and hard seltzer will also be available for tasting. Food will be available for purchase.  

NEW for 2025: Make a bubbly night out even more festive with a pre-purchased Char-zoo-terie Box featuring an elegant sampling of pimento cheese spread, olives, crackers, cheese, pepperoni, turkey and provolone roll-ups, strawberries, and chocolate pretzels.  

Now through August 17, early-bird tickets are $55 for Zoo Atlanta Members; $65 for non-Members. VIP tickets are also available at an early-bird rate at $120 and include early admission to the event at 4:30 p.m.; music from DJ Kate; premium wine tastings; an event T-shirt; access to the air-conditioned VIP lounge in the Michael & Thalia Carlos Ballroom; and a snack box.  

After August 17, general admission tickets will be $65 for Zoo Atlanta Members; $75 for non-Members; and $130 for VIP. Tickets may not be available at the door, as Sippin’ Safari has sold out in the past; advance online ticket purchase is strongly recommended.
