TUCSON, Ariz. — With temperatures rising in Tucson, Reid Park Zoo's Summer Safari Nights are making a comeback."It's a really fun opportunity for people to come out after the zoo closes," said Jed Dodds, Development Officer at Reid Park Zoo."Visitors get an opportunity to come in and really have a fun event when it’s a little bit cooler out.""It’s a family-based opportunity, so from newborns all the way up to adults," Dodds said.
Each week, the event features a different theme. This Saturday, the theme is"Large and in Charge," celebrating the zoo's mega-vertebrates like giraffes, elephants and rhinos."Yeah, I want to see the giraffe," said Ryser, one young zoo visitor."Summertime is our slower time for attendance," Dodds said."So adding an event like this does increase our revenue during that time, which adds to all the things that we can do.
