Toss on your best lederhosen – it’s time to celebrate Oktoberfest at Brookfield Zoo, sponsored by Leinenkugel’s. Seasonal food, beer, and live Polka music await guests on Saturday, September 24, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Guests, who are at least 21 years old, can say “Prost!” (Cheers!) at the Beer Garden on the zoo’s East Mall while enjoying refreshing cool Oktoberfest beer available for purchase. Additionally, mouthwatering fall favorites featured on the menu include bratwurst, sausages, pretzels with beer cheese, and more.
