You’re Invited to a Koala-ty Tea Party!
Sunday, September 28 | 3 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Located at the Koala habitat in the Australia and the Islands region
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon steeped in charm, curiosity, and conservation! For the first time ever, the Columbus Zoo is hosting a whimsical Koala Tea Party—and you can be on the guest list.
Bring your favorite animal lovers and enjoy:
- A delightful tea party with finger foods, tea, and juice
- Koala-themed party favors to take home
- A meet-and-greet with Sydney Koala, our lovable Character Ambassador
- Koala story time under the eucalyptus trees
- A private, keeper-led tour of the Koala habitat with rare up-close views of these iconic marsupials (Please note: guests will not be able to hold or touch the koalas.)
You’ll also learn fascinating facts about koalas and their wild cousins in Australia from our expert Animal Care team—plus, your attendance directly supports the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area project, a conservation initiative dedicated to protecting wild koala populations in New South Wales.
