REID PARK ZOO’S SUMMER SAFARI NIGHTS PROGRAM CONTINUES THIS WEEKEND - Enjoy Reid Park Zoo and cooler evening temperatures as you watch the sunset at this series of themed nights, featuring different keeper chats, animal encounters, artifact stations, and special activities. Refresh with dinner at the Zoofari Market, 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! program. There's a different theme each week. This Saturday, July 23, the theme is "Hoofin’ It." A hoof is the tip of a toe of an ungulate mammal strengthened by a thick keratin covering. Some of the Zoo’s most iconic animals, including the giraffes, rhinos, and zebras are hoofstock and have some of the fanciest feet around. Wear your best walking shoes for this evening celebrating fantastic phalanges. Music will be provided by Scotty Freel and the Flying Diamonds, and there will be interactive line dancing demos with the Sahuaro Strutters.
