Sony Wildlife Photography Experience at the Zoo | October 22

Bring your camera and spend time photographing the animals alongside the Sony team. We’re planning a special route through the zoo that will include opportunities to meet the animal guardians at the snow leopard, spotted hyena, and raccoon enclosures, giving you a chance to learn more about these incredible animals while photographing them.

Whether you’re an experienced photographer or simply enjoy photography and wildlife, come spend the day with us, capture some great images, talk photography, and enjoy the zoo with fellow photographers.

Come join Sony for a fun day of photography, wildlife, and great photo opportunities!

Meeting Point & Start Time:

We’ll be at the Peacock café from 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM to meet everyone and get the day started.

At 10:30 AM, we’ll begin making our way toward the snow leopard enclosure to start our photography experience and meet the animal guardians. Please plan to arrive before 10:30 AM so you can join us before we head into the zoo. 

Note: There is no cost for this event however attendees are responsible for their own admission cost to the zoo.
