Come pet, play, and make memories at Shipgarten’s Petting Zoo! Bring the whole family to Shipgarten on April 19, 2026, for a fun-filled Petting Zoo experience where kids get up close with friendly animals. This hands-on event is perfect for animal lovers of all ages and makes for an easy, stress-free Sunday outing. Expect smiles, curiosity, and plenty of photo-worthy moments as little ones meet and learn about their new furry (and scaly!) friends.

Plus, there will be balloon animals and magic tricks by Jack the Great!

Step into a world of family-friendly fun at Shipgarten, Tysons Corner’s top restaurant for families, where you can enjoy live music, moon bounces, face painting, arts & crafts for little ones, and a full outdoor playground to ensure everyone has a blast!

Dogs are welcome at Shipgarten, too, whether on-leash or in the off-leash dog park. Treat your furry friends to Pup Cups and Kongs, filled with peanut butter for a delightful family treat.

Kids & Family Festival is a free community event.
