Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s Moonlight on the Mountain is a fun night reserved for the 21+ crowd. Event guests can mix and mingle under the stars with our animals in a unique adults-only evening.

Time:

6 to 10 p.m. (VIP hour for select vendors, 5 to 6 p.m.)

Booth Set-up:

We highly recommend scheduling an on-site visit before the day of the event. Set-up is Thursday, June 25; you will be emailed with an exact arrival time closer to the event. By sticking to this time as closely as possible, you can help us avoid traffic jams at the check-in booth. Your booth must be set and ready to go by 5:45 p.m. (Let us know if you would like to be part of VIP Early Entry and set up earlier.)

 

Attendance:

Estimated total event attendance is 1,600.

Booth Details:

The Zoo will provide one six-foot table and two chairs (electricity upon request).

As part of our effort to make this event more waste-wise, all guests will receive a souvenir cup and a spork at admission to be used throughout the evening. Beverage purveyors do not need to supply cups. Food purveyors do not need to supply guests with utensils. The exhibitor will provide all prep and serving utensils/materials for plating. The exhibitor will provide all staff for the event, signage to identify your business and any handouts or giveaways. Ice will be available for no charge, but you must reserve the amount you will need in advance. If you would like a pop-up 10’ x 10’ white rental tent with halogen lighting and weights to be pre-set for you, the Zoo will split the cost with you. Cost to the exhibitor is $115; Zoo will pay the other $115. 

Investment:

Restaurant: 2,200 pieces (minimum).

Bands: The Zoo will provide chairs and electricity as well as a white tent with professional weights and lighting or a covered performance area.  (These only provided to bands.)  Each band member will be paid $30.00 per hour for their performance time.  One check cut per group, does not include band assistant, maximum of five band members.  

Brewery and Cidery: Five half barrels (minimum). Guests will be allowed to have unlimited drink sampling at the beverage booths, subject to your professional serving judgment/TIPS training. We will enforce a 4 oz. max per sample policy for beer and hard cider.

Wine and Spirits:  Five cases (minimum). Guests will be allowed to have unlimited drink sampling at the beverage booths, subject to your professional serving judgment/TIPS training. We will enforce a 2 oz. max per sample policy for wine and a 0.5 oz. max per sample policy for spirits. 

Waste-Wise:

 

In our efforts to make Moonlight on the Mountain a waste-wise event, we are asking each food vendor to use only compostable sampling materials. If you are already using a 100% paper product, no need to change what you are using! If you are not currently using compostable materials, we can help facilitate ordering compostable plates or bowls. There will also be a trash and recycling bags at your booth for you to use throughout the evening. Volunteers will empty your container so that cleanup is quicker at the end of the night and we can ensure that glass, aluminum and cardboard do not end up in the garbage.

Compostable Items: Produce, napkins/paper towels, food waste (including meat and bones), waxed paper or cardboard/pizza boxes/paper board, wooden stir sticks, compostable dinnerware, compostable trash bags.

Guests will have reusable beverage cups and sporks. 

Additional Info:

Exhibitor recognition will be included on the Zoo’s event webpage and event program. Email collection, giveaways, coupons or other marketing giveaways to help you promote your product or company is permitted. Exhibitor provides staff on event day. Exhibitors should arrive at their assigned time and must be set and ready by 5:45 p.m.  Booth space is limited to four staff members or less (please let us know if you would like us to consider an exception).  Everyone working your booth must be 21 or older with proper ID, which will be verified at the front gate.  The event begins promptly at 6 p.m. Due to large crowds, late exhibitors and staff may be denied entry. 

From The Animals:

 

As a participant, you will have the opportunity to purchase up to ten Moonlight tickets at a discounted rate of $69.75 each (regular advanced ticket price is $79.75 each). These need to be purchased in advance and a discount code will be provided to you upon registration. Tickets are subject to selling out, so purchase your tickets early. When they are sold out, they are sold out for everyone.

 

After successful completion of the event (including staying at your booth for the entire duration), Cheyenne Mountain Zoo will mail your organization 20 daytime Zoo admission tickets (around a $400 value) as a thank you for your support!

HOW TO RESERVE YOUR MEMBER E-TICKETS:

Before you can reserve timed member tickets, you must have a login and password with the Zoo’s ticket portal to sign in below.

>> STEP ONE: IF YOU HAVEN'T REGISTERED, REGISTER A LOGIN (www.cmzoo.org/register)
  1. Use the information on your membership card and/or member Welcome Email to ensure the registration does not create an empty duplicate account.
  2. You will know that you registered successfully when you receive a registration email.
  3. If you receive a registration processing error, you have already registered that email. We recommend the ‘password reset’ found in the log-in pop-up.

>> STEP TWO: CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION IS CORRECTLY LINKED
  1. Once registered, it is important to check whether or not your registration is linked to your membership and/or that your membership is active.
  2. Log in (when logged in your email will appear in an orange box, top-right). Navigate to the member reservations page to choose a date and time for your visit and scroll to the bottom of the page.
  3. If you cannot see the option to add member tickets to your cart at the bottom of the page, your membership is either expired or not correctly linked to your login. Contact the Membership Department directly at membership@cmzoo.org.
    - If you are able to add member tickets to your cart, then you are all set to reserve tickets for your visit! Please note, the price will drop off once in the cart.

THINGS TO NOTE:

  • All you need to check-in with reservations is a picture ID and order number. Write your order number down, just in case.
  • Daytime admission tickets become available at 10 p.m. on the 15th of the month, three months in advance. (For example, tickets for the entire month of May are available beginning at 10 p.m. Feb. 15.)
  • Our system will allow you to add member and non-member tickets to the same cart. We suggest adding member tickets to the cart first, then navigate to the non-member ticketing page to add those to the same cart. Once you check out, keep your order number for reference.
  • Our system will allow you to add multiple visits to one order. Select the first date and time, add the tickets to your cart and navigate back to the member reservations page to choose a different date and time. Both visits will be on the same order, so be sure to write that order number down for future reference.
  • Non-member guests must purchase non-member tickets. Neither slot on the membership can be used as a guest pass, if one or both primary members are not at the Zoo. Additionally, membership benefits cannot be shared with non-members. Non-members without tickets will not be granted entry to the Zoo.
  • Member tickets are not valid if they are reserved for a date and time beyond the membership’s expiration date. For example, if tickets are reserved for anytime in December (including Electric Safari) on 11/11/2022 and the membership expires 11/30/2022, the member tickets will not be valid in December unless the membership is renewed.
  • Individual Plus members with children under 2: Reserve your member tickets first (you + one), then add the non-member 75¢ age 2 & under ticket to the cart. Payment will be collected before the success page.
  • Please enter the Zoo at the time you've reserved. You have a half-hour window to enter the Zoo from the start time of your ticket (for example, if your ticket is for 10 a.m., you can enter the Zoo starting at 10 a.m. and must be in line to enter the Zoo by 10:30 a.m.). You will not be permitted entrance earlier than your start time. If you have two different times for ticketing entry times, please wait until the later time to check-in - you will not be permitted early entry for your later tickets. Once you’re inside, you are welcome to stay in the Zoo until closing time (typically 5 p.m.).
  • Current members: We ask that you be courteous to fellow members by not over-reserving tickets you cannot use. If you reserve e-tickets but your plans change, please email tickets@cmzoo.org and we’ll release your tickets. We release unused tickets as they are cancelled.
  • ATTENTION MEMBERS:   Advance timed tickets are required for members. Tickets are subject to selling out. To allow everyone a spot in our on-site parking lot, we have limited Zoo capacity through the day. Because of this, during busier times of year (i.e. summer, holidays, etc.), you will need to plan a few days or a week ahead to visit the Zoo with your membership. We appreciate your flexibility and encourage you to choose a different date or time, should your preferred time or date be unavailable.

LOGIN ISSUES, or ERRORS?

  • If you attempt to register, but there is a system error, you have already registered that email address. We suggest trying the password reset.
  • If you see a ticket price for your member tickets, your tickets will zero out in the cart if you are signed in as a member. You must add the number of tickets you need to your cart in order to reserve them.
  • If this error appears: "The number of tickets exceeds the amount available for this event," - there aren't enough tickets in the time slot you've chosen to cover your entire party. *We suggest trying a different time slot entirely, or (if possible) splitting your group into smaller groups and reserving consecutive time slots. Because you have 19 minutes to check-in, timing it so your group enters around the same time should be fairly easy.
  • If you register but are being prompted to purchase a membership, you have created a duplicate OR your membership has expired. Contact membership@cmzoo.org and We will reply to you as soon as we can!
  • If you forgot or need to reset your password - click the SIGN-IN button below and choose the ‘forgot my password’ option. Enter your registered email to get a link to reset your password.

Event Details:

For these special dates, you can bring your well-behaved dog to the Zoo with you!

Dogs and their humans are welcome to stay in the Zoo until it closes at 5 p.m.


HOW TO PURCHASE TICKETS:

  • Use this page to purchase a dog ticket for the date and time you'd like to visit. Dog tickets are limited by entry time and date.
  • Dog tickets are required for both members and non-members visiting the Zoo with their dog.
  • The “Dog” ticket type can be used for one dog's entry per ticket for both member families and non-member families.
  • Please put your dog ticket in your cart before your human tickets, because dog tickets are limited and likely to sell out. Once your dog’s ticket is in your cart, use the buttons at the top of the page to navigate to either “Reserve Member Tickets” or “Non-Member Tickets.” Then, choose the number of human tickets you need for the same day and time as your canine tickets.
  • Your dog must have a dog ticket to enter the Zoo; human tickets will not be honored for dog admission.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Dogs must have an up-to-date rabies vaccination.
  • Dogs must be on a leash at all times. Leashes must be no longer than 6’ and non-retractable. Leashes must be attached at all times, even if the dog is in a carrier or stroller.
  • One dog ticket allowed per adult ticket. Each dog must be accompanied by a designated adult.
  • Guests with dogs can access most areas of the Zoo, but there are a few restrictions. View the Dog Days Guide & Map
  • Dogs must remain under their human’s control and not behave in an aggressive or disruptive manner. Excessive agitation of Zoo animals or guests because of barking or other behavior may result in the party being asked to leave the Zoo without a refund.
  • This opportunity is available for dogs only; sorry, no other pets are allowed.

**Don't forget to get your human tickets, too! After you add your dog ticket(s) to your cart, use the menus above to navigate to either “Reserve Member Tickets” or “Non-Member Tickets.” Then, choose the number of human tickets you need for the same day and time as your canine tickets.
