Willkommen zum Oktoberfest in Zoombezi Bay!

Get ready for a fantastic time as we slide into fall with a splash of fun and cheer! Dive into the world of German music, enjoy pumpkin and fall-flavored beers on tap courtesy of local breweries, and savor Bavarian-style food. There's plenty for the whole family to enjoy – from exciting waterslides to heartwarming fun. 

The live entertainment schedule will be posted at a later date. 

Oktoberfest is included with regular Zoombezi Bay admission. Columbus Zoo admission is included.
