Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Corroboree?
Corroboree is a vibrant, yet casual fundraiser for SAVE Inc. at the African Market of the Kansas City Zoo.
What does Corroboree even mean? (And how on earth do you say it!?)
Corroboree is an Australian word meaning "nocturnal festival of song & dance." In Aborigine tradition the dances & song require great skill and sophistication. If you've been to Corroborees in the past, you know we believe that it's truly the thought that counts. As for how to say it, I've heard both CoROBoree or CoraBORee. When in doubt though, the SAVE Inc. Zoo Party works just fine.
I've heard there's complimentary wine & beer at Corroboree...can this be true?
Absolutely. We wouldn't lie to you about that, twould be too cruel. Your Corroboree ticket gets you all the red & white wine, beer, soda and water you could possibly stomach!
Is the food at Corroboree going to be good?
Good? Try phenomenal! You'll be feasting on a variety of delicious cuisines, of which there will be plenty to fill you up.
What should I wear?
Corroboree is a casual yet vibrant party among friends, so you should wear whatever you will feel comfortable in. Basically, anything goes as long as all requisite areas are covered. Feel free to sport the official Corroboree 16 t-shirts which you can purchase at the event or in advance by calling Sara at 816-531-8340 ext. 23.
Patron Party. Details. I NEED THEM!
And they're coming soon, I promise!!
Will that truly delightful Tram Host be there again this year?
Without a doubt. It simply wouldn’t be Corroboree without the infamous Michael Mackie and we are so lucky that he lends his plethora of talents to the lengendary tram ride that takes you to the Africa Exhibit. Remember…the party only really starts when you step on the tram. Michael will make sure of it. Plus, as he puts it…he puts the “ho” in host!
