You may have experienced 4th of July before, but never like this. Grab your friends and family, sit lakeside and enjoy some BBQ, fireworks, and of course, lots of animals at 4th of Zoo-ly! The event starts at 7 p.m., and from then on, everyone can enjoy a bunch of scheduled activities throughout the night. From 7 to 8:30 p.m., Andrew’s BBQ will be serving hamburgers and hotdogs, salad, beverages and cookies. Before or after your dinner, you can head over to Stingray Bay where you can pet and feed the stingrays, or hop aboard the Endangered Species Carousel and take a ride on an endangered animal.

After you’re done with those magical experiences, head over to our face painters, bounce houses, and other fun-tivities. There will also be special animal guests throughout the night, so don’t miss out on a rare animal sighting! At 9 p.m., guests will gather in a VIP area at the back of the Zoo to experience the firework show near Tempe Town Lake. Cool treats are available for everyone and adults can enjoy some cold and frothy beverages too!
