Per the organizers, the event has been canceled for public safety amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Join Endor Base and meet your favorite characters without making a trip to a galaxy far, far away. Visitors are encouraged to bring their cameras to Star Wars Day and pose for free photos with costumed characters from 11 am to 4 pm. Visitors will learn how animal adaptations and behaviors in our galaxy relate to the creatures from the Star Wars universe through wildlife stage shows, crafts and other activities. Visitors will also be able to enjoy Star Wars-themed concession items in Kampala Cafe, a ride on the Conservation Carousel to Star Wars music, themed chalk art with an activity station for guests to join in the fun, a Lego building station, face painting and more. The animals will join in on the fun as they receive special Star Wars-themed enrichment items throughout the day.

Costume Notice

Due to animal safety, you may be asked to remove full head costume pieces in certain areas of the zoo. Lightsabers are allowed, but cannot be used over fences or animal barriers. Any costume blasters or guns are NOT allowed unless you are with the pre-approved groups of costumed characters and have had your prop inspected and tagged before entering the zoo.

Proceeds from Star Wars Day will benefit animal care and the general maintenance of the zoo.
