Zootoberfest

Lions and tigers and beers! Bring the whole family to the Saint Louis Zoo for the wildest Oktoberfest in town.

Enjoy family-friendly activities, including an obstacle course and arts and crafts, and then dig into German-inspired food such as bratwursts, Bavarian pretzels and turkey legs. Of course, there will be plenty of beer, apple cider and soft drinks to wash it all down.

You can also hear live music from 12 to 3 p.m. every day of the event:

• Big Joe and the Bavarians on Sept. 30
• Almost Famous on Oct. 1
• Retro Boogie on Oct. 7
• So Grand Polka Band on Oct. 8
