On Saturday, June 13, the Zoo will host a one-night-only, disco-themed 50th Anniversary Gala that takes guests back to 1975—the year the Zoo opened at its current location.

The Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens is turning back the clock for one unforgettable night of disco fever, dancing and dazzling ‘70s style as it celebrates 50 years at its current location with the Zoodio 50 Disco Party.

On Saturday, June 13, from 6 - 9:30 pm, guests are invited to step into 1975 and celebrate the Zoo’s golden anniversary during this adults-only evening fundraiser filled with retro vibes, delicious food, drinks and plenty of opportunities to hit the dance floor. From bell bottoms and sequins to platform shoes and funky prints, partygoers are encouraged to come dressed in their best disco-inspired attire for a groovy night at the Zoo.

“This is more than just a party, it’s a celebration of 50 incredible years of connecting our community with wildlife and conservation,” said CEO Richard Glover. “We’re excited to invite guests to relive the spirit of 1975 while helping support the future of the Zoo.”

Space is limited to 200 guests only. Don’t miss this once-in-50-years celebration!
