The 2025 TBA Holiday Party is back again and will be a family event. Join your fellow colleagues and their families at Kay McFarland Japanese Garden for dinner, followed by touring the Topeka Zoo Lights.
Note about Zoo Lights Registration
The TBA Holiday Party at Zoo Lights has traditionally been a free event, and we’ve loved offering this as a way to give back to our members. However, we will be charging a nominal registration fee this year.
This small fee will help offset event expenses and ensure that those who register plan to attend—helping us avoid unused ticket purchases. We also want to recognize that this event, like many others throughout the year, is made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors.
Food and treats will be set up from 6:00 p.m. through 7:30 p.m.
Feel free to join us anytime that is convenient for you in those two hours. Actual Zoo Light Entry Tickets will be passed out at event.
