3 Palms Zoo Presents: Red, White, & Zoobilee - Celebrating America's 250th

Start: Friday, July 3, 2026 7:00PM
End: Saturday, July 11, 2026 9:00PM

Celebrate America’s 250th with Delaware's favorite rescue crew!

Join 3 Palms Zoo in Townsend, DE, for the Red, White, & Zoobilee. If you are looking to trade massive crowds and booming fireworks for a peaceful, sensory-friendly summer evening, this is the perfect outing for your family.

We are opening our gates after hours for a laid-back gathering so you can experience the sanctuary at twilight. When the daytime heat lifts, the whole atmosphere changes and our rescued animals become much more active!

Evening Highlights Include:

• Animal Meet & Greets: Wander the paths at your own pace while our amazing volunteers introduce you to the animals and share their incredible rescue stories.

• Campfire Treats: Stop by the Old Glory Gazebo to roast marshmallows over the fire pit.

• Family Photo Ops: Capture the perfect holiday memory inside our vintage Patriotic Parlor or in front of our beautifully decorated Americana photo vignettes.

• Sensory-Friendly Vibe: Enjoy soft lighting, the sounds of nature, and a classic American playlist. To keep our rescued residents and guests relaxed, there will be absolutely NO fireworks.

The Details:

• Dates: July 3rd, 4th, 10th, and 11th

• Time: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

• Cost: Just $6 per person! Babies 12 months and under get in for free.

Every single admission and souvenir purchase goes directly back into caring for the animals who have found a second chance here. Advance tickets are available online, or you can purchase them right at the gate.
