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 Zoo 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.

Animals in Astronomy

What’s your favorite constellation? Is it Leo the Lion, Testudo (the tortoise), the Cygnus swan? This week we are looking to the skies and examining the characteristics of animals such as the Zoo’s African wild dogs, zebras, birds, lions, and tortoises. Enjoy a portable planetarium and gaze up at the stars.
