Beat the heat and explore the outdoors with Summer Safari Nights!

Get ready for wild summer evenings you won’t want to miss!

Join us for Summer Safari Nights, presented by TMC Health, and experience the Zoo like never before—after the sun goes down and the desert cools off. Wander the paths in the evening breeze while discovering something new around every corner.

Each week is packed with adventure: chat with expert keepers, get up close during animal encounters, and explore hands-on artifact stations. Kids (and kids at heart) can enjoy crafts, games, inflatables and rides on the Jungle Carousel, while the Event Garden keeps the fun going all night long.

Looking to treat yourself? Grab dinner and a refreshing drink at the Flamingo Grill, then kick back and enjoy live music from some of Tucson’s favorite local bands. Add a little sparkle with face painting or glitter tattoos—perfect for making the night extra memorable.

Best of all, every week brings a new theme, so no two visits are the same. It’s the perfect way to make summer memories, snap amazing photos, and enjoy a one-of-a-kind night at the Zoo.

Cool nights. Wild experiences. Unforgettable fun. Don’t miss Summer Safari Nights!
