A Pirate's Feast at GloWild

Your family can enjoy an evening of pirate-themed fun at the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium's GloWild after-hours event. The experience centers around dining at the Boathouse, located along the waterfront in the Africa section of the zoo. You'll feast on a buffet that includes Jamaican chicken skewers, jambalaya, BBQ meatballs, crab cakes, fresh fruit, and desserts, with a dedicated kids' menu featuring child-friendly options. During dinner, live performers in pirate costumes deliver an interactive show full of energy and audience participation. The package also includes admission to GloWild: Hidden Treasure, the zoo's nighttime light experience, plus a scenic Kenyan Cruise boat ride (subject to weather). A cash bar offers cocktails and mocktails for adults. This outing works well for families with kids of various ages—from younger children to older kids who enjoy interactive entertainment. The combination of dining, live performance, and nighttime zoo exploration creates a memorable evening without requiring separate ticket purchases for the main attraction. The event runs weekly through late October, with sessions beginning at 6:30 p.m. For specific pricing and registration details, contact the zoo directly.
