Cool Summer Nights at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

Beat the Arizona heat and enjoy a family-friendly outing during our popular Cool Summer Nights at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson from 5 to 10 p.m. The desert comes alive at night as nocturnal animals awake. Bats perform aerial acrobatics in pursuit of dinner, beavers splash around in their pond, and scorpions glow green under black light. Bring your flashlight and explore, experience a live animal encounter, or participate in special nightly activities.
