RendeZOO 2026

Lights…Camera…Conservation! You’re invited to the second annual RendeZOO event! This blockbuster-themed, adults-only summer party at the Columbus Zoo welcomes you to a red-carpet-worthy night of elevated bites, high-energy performances, immersive entertainment moments, and–the ultimate stars of the show–our animal ambassadors.
You are encouraged to wear your favorite movie-chic outfit and your red-carpet-strutting energy! There will be movie-themed, immersive set-ups throughout the zoo for you to take in the cinematic wonder.
The best part of what will be a show-stopping time is that you’ll be directly supporting your animal friends at the Columbus Zoo, as well as critical wildlife conservation efforts around the world.
