Reid Park Zoo’s Summer Safari Nights, presented by Tucson Medical Center, are back in 2016! Enjoy the Zoo each Friday during cooler evening temperatures with the added benefits of live music, family-friendly animal features, special dining options, and even gift shop discounts!
Bring a blanket and purchase your dinner or snacks (or even a cold beer or glass of wine), then relax and enjoy a picnic concert. Wander through the Zoo for Keeper chats, animal encounters, sponsor booths, and wildlife activities*. The bands and animal themes will change each week, so be sure to mark your calendar for every Friday now -July 8th!
All Safari Nights are on the Arizona Families daily calendars - check out all the Tucson family-friendly events HERE
