Summer Safari Nights

$1 Off Admission With A Food Donation For The Community Food Bank

Beat the heat and explore the outdoors with Reid Park Zoo’s Summer Safari Nights on Saturday evenings!

Come to Summer Safari Nights, Presented by TMC Health and enjoy the Zoo in the cooler evening hours! Each week will feature keeper chats, animal encounters, artifact stations, giraffe feedings, carousel rides, crafts and games. Face painting and glitter tattoos will be available for purchase. Refresh with dinner and a cold drink at the Flamingo Grill, listen to live music by some of Tucson’s best bands. Take a ride on the Cox Jungle Carousel, and play games with Tucson Parks and Recreation’s ‘Ready, Set, Rec!’ There will be a different theme each week, so every visit brings something new and plenty of photo opportunities to remember a great evening.

World of Play is Open until dusk. Check back often for updates on bands and activities!
