Events Description
If you like puzzles, trivia nights, board games, and friendly competition… Locked Zoo is for you!
Get ready for an unforgettable after-hours adventure at the Zoo! Assemble your team for some good-natured competition as you solve an elaborate series of puzzles before the clock runs out.
As you move through the Zoo, your team will uncover hidden clues and tackle clever puzzles that test your observation skills and quick thinking. Work together, think creatively, and follow the trail of challenges inspired by iconic polar species including polar bears, penguins, and caribou.
Your Locked Zoo game will take approximately two hours depending on how sharp your sleuthing skills are. Your adventure will lead you through the Zoo, across the Grassland & Boreal Forest, and onward to Journey to Churchill where you’ll be greeted by playful polar bears. Bonus puzzles, games, trivia, and plenty of surprises are located on the West side of the Zoo near our Open Range section.
SIDE QUESTS
Trivia Challenge: Think you know animals and nature? Put your knowledge to the test! After completing your Locked Zoo game, swing by our large event tent for a round of drop-in buzzer trivia. A new game kicks off every half hour. You might be stumped, or you might just prove you’re the wildest brain in the zoo.
Bonus Round: Looking for an extra challenge? Take on our mini bonus round designed for expert sleuths who breeze through the Locked Zoo game and want another puzzle to crack.
Fun and Games: Let loose with lawn games including corn hole and giant connect 4, near the large event tent.
Fuel Your Fun: Solving puzzles is hard work. Refuel with snacks, meals, and sweet or salty treats throughout the Zoo. Tundra Grill will be open for sit-down dining. Food and drinks will also be available at the Bison Snack Shack, Winston’s Ice Cream Shoppe, and our shaved ice, hot dog, and mini donut concessions. Mobile ordering is available on site.
