Summer Fun Saturdays at Hemker Park & Zoo!

We’re celebrating summer—and YOU—at Hemker Park & Zoo with Summer Fun Saturdays all August long! As a special thank-you from our Hemker Zoo family to yours, we’re adding a little extra fun to your zoo visit during the first four Saturdays in August. All activities are free with paid zoo admission and run from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

🎉 Here’s what’s happening each Saturday:

  • August 2 – Airbrush Tattoos

  • August 9 – Caricature Artist

  • August 16 – Henna Art

  • August 23 – Airbrush Tattoos

Whether you’re visiting the giraffes, penguins, or enjoying a cool treat at Zoo Beans Café, there’s something extra special waiting for you each weekend. It’s our way of saying thank you for your continued support and for being part of the Hemker Park & Zoo community.

Mark your calendars, bring the whole family, and kick back for some wild summer fun—on us!

A Legacy of Love

Founded by Mark & Joan Hemker, the zoo has become a labor of love to honor Mark’s legacy since his passing 2006.
