Have you ever seen a giraffe at a rock concert?
Because Buckcherry is about to.

The band gets VIP access to the Wild Animal Park, going face-to-face with wolves, hanging with giraffes, meeting some very curious camels and getting a backstage tour unlike anything they’ve experienced before.

Then the amps get cranked. The fireworks get loaded. And a Fourth of July concert turns into one seriously wild night. Rock and roar!

Planning a nighttime adventure at The Wild Animal Park? We’re answering your most frequently asked questions so you can make the most of your visit!
