Feb. 11
Adults take their turn at one of Southern California’s most family-friendly destinations as the Los Angeles Zoo presents SEX AND THE CITY ZOO, a wild Valentine’s Day celebration dedicated to romance in the animal kingdom on Saturday, February 11, 2017, 5 to 7 pm, in the Zoo’s Witherbee Auditorium. The lighthearted affair for ages 21 and older begins with a reception from 5 to 6 pm featuring tempting refreshments, wines and “animal walk-abouts,” which include chats with keepers and the chance to observe small animals up close. At the heart of the evening is a provocative “Fool for Love” presentation and Q & A from 6 to 7 pm about animal dating, mating and cohabitating by Sandy Masuo. The event’s climax is an intimate, seasonally inspired five-course farm-to-table dinner from 7 to 9 pm created by the Zoo’s executive chef, Brad Robertson. Each course is paired with a selection from Foxen, a winery located in Santa Maria at Northern Santa Barbara County’s historic Rancho Tinaquaic that shares the Zoo’s dedication to sustainability. Programs subject to change. Tickets to the SEX AND THE CITY ZOO’s reception and lecture are $40 per person (or $30 for GLAZA members). Tickets for the reception, lecture, and five-course dinner with wine pairing are $140 ($130 for GLAZA members). Seating is limited, and reservations for the dinner are required by February 6. The event is open to adults age 21 and older. The Los Angeles Zoo is located in Griffith Park at the junction of the Ventura (134) and Golden State (5) freeways. 5333 Zoo Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90027. Free parking is available.
