The Hattiesburg Zoo is bringing back its much-loved Brunch with Bertie four dates in May (including Mother’s Day). Guests can enjoy a full brunch while three beautiful giraffes look on from their yard. Brunch with Bertie, named in honor of the Zoo’s youngest female giraffe, who never misses the opportunity to graze on her favorite snacks, will take place Saturday, May 10th; Sunday, May 11th (Mother’s Day); Saturday, May 17th and Sunday, May 18th from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
The all-inclusive brunch will change for each event, but will include brunch staples along with fruit, coffee, water, juice and bottomless mimosas.
“Brunch with Bertie has been a sell-out on every date it has been offered,” said Demetric Kelly, Director of Retail and Guest Relations. “To better meet the demand, we are increasing the number of days we are offering the brunch in 2025.”
Tickets for Brunch with Bertie are $65 plus tax and include admission to the Hattiesburg Zoo, a free train ride to Ladha’s Overlook, private dining access to Ladha’s Overlook and a special enrichment opportunity with giraffe residents, Sue Ellen, Bertie and Grace. Brunch tickets are limited and can be purchased through the link: https://hattiesburgzoo.connectngo.com/en/tag/brunch-with-bertie
Tickets for this event are limited. If tickets are still available, they will be sold at the ticket booth on the day of the brunch. This is an event for those age 21+ and is weather-dependent.
