How do I get tickets?
Tickets are available at any Audubon facility and online until they sell out. Sold-out nights will be removed from the ticketing system, so please double-check the date of your tickets before you finalize your purchase. You may either print your tickets at home or pick up your tickets with a confirmation number or valid ID at an Audubon facility front gate. Tickets cannot be mailed.

If I choose to pick up my tickets at the front gate, when and where can I get my tickets?
Bring the confirmation number or valid ID to a ticket window at any Audubon facility front gate during normal operating hours to pick up your tickets. You may also pick up your tickets at the Zoo front gate the night of the event.

What should I do if I lose my ticket?
If you chose the “print at home” option, you can reprint the ticket from the e-mail that was sent to you, but each ticket has a unique barcode and is only valid for one use. Once a ticket is scanned upon entrance, any duplicates will be void and admission will be denied. If you want to pick up your online ticket order at the front gate, you can have your order looked up with your confirmation number at the front gate of any Audubon facility and have your tickets reprinted, however, the original tickets will then be voided and invalid for admission.

Am I allowed to bring in food and/or beverages?
No ice chests or outside food or beverages are allowed except for baby food/formula. Delicious food from local vendors and Audubon will be available for purchase at the event. Beverages, including child-friendly and adult-friendly, will also be available for purchase.

Can I bring a wagon?
Yes. Wagons, strollers, and wheelchairs are welcome. Guest are encouraged to bring their own.
