Kids, Cultures, Critters, and Crafts Festival at the Cincinnati Zoo!

Celebrate the return of the Kids, Cultures, Critters, and Crafts Festival

Learning Through Art, Inc. is returning to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden® for the Kids, Cultures, Critters and Crafts Festival on Wednesday, June 21!

Join us for a magical day dedicated to neighbors meeting neighbors in celebration of the mosaic beauty of our region – and the world! This day-long event will be filled with sights, sounds, and wonders from around the globe.

Families will have the opportunity to have their Kids, Cultures, Critters, and Crafts Festival passports stamped as they travel around the world, visiting and experiencing the cultures of many of the countries whose native animals inhabit the Zoo. Through A World of Possibilities crafting stations located throughout the Zoo, families will explore activities that celebrate the art, culture, food, and fashion of eight global destinations.

For this special day only, the price of reduced admission is $10 for adults (13-up), $5 for children (4 -12). For families with EBT/SNAP cards, the price of reduced admission is $6 for adults (13-up), $3 for children (4-12).
ALL children 3 and under are FREE!

These specially discounted prices are the lowest of the entire season, and can be purchased on the CincinnatiZoo.org website by selecting Wednesday, June 21, 2023.

Non-member entry begins at 10 a.m.
Zoo members can be admitted as early as 9 a.m., and media coverage can be coordinated even before the gates open by reaching out through email HERE.
Our day of fun will continue until the zoo closes at 5 p.m.
