Beer and bears? Something like that
Do you love the zoo? Do you love beer? Ever considered drinking beer at the zoo but been to afraid of getting arrested for public intox?
If you say yes to all three, this event is for you: the Oklahoma City Zoo Zoo Brew.
OK, you might still get arrested for public intox if you’re out of control, but if you act like a grownup, you should be fine. Just don’t down too many and hop in with the lions. That won’t end well.
