Locked Zoo

Saturday, March 25, 2023 | 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

In this digital puzzle experience, players will work in small teams to solve clues and unlock the mystery of Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium. Can you escape?

This month’s theme: Cryptic Cats. Nature’s biggest cats use strength, speed, and smarts to survive in the wild. During a 2-hour window, players will do the same as they prowl through select Zoo exhibits solving cat-themed puzzles.

This event is not a race or competition – the game is meant to be completed at your own pace.

Now for all ages! This is an after-hours, family-friendly event. Locked Zoo puzzles are best suited for ages 12 and up, but all are welcome. From date night to family game night, this unique experience is only offered at the Zoo!

Select Zoo concessions will be available, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for purchase.
