Catch the wave and join us for the last Cool Summer Night of the Season! We’re celebrating Teachers and Support Staff with a splashy Back-to-School Beach Bash.
Throw on your best beachwear and help us turn this night into a tidal wave of fun. Think breezy shirts, flip flops, board shorts, and anything that says salty air and summer flair. Let us treat you to a night of seaside-style fun in the desert!
*Free Admission for Pre-K to 12th Grade Teachers and Support Staff that Work in a School (Must show current school ID or a letter from your principal on letterhead attesting you are a school employee).
🍎 Tonight's Schedule:
Presentations in the Warden Oasis Theater:
7:00 & 8:00 p.m. Special presentation for educators and support staff - including live animals and a raffle! Learn all about field trips, free curriculum, and outreach.
Live Music on the Ironwood Patio:
6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Vibe to the tunes of Country Pop / Zonafolk artist Jacob Acosta.
Throughout the Night:
Look for Museum Docents around grounds interpreting live animals, celestial desert skies, fluorescent minerals, bats, kissing bugs, scorpions, rattlesnakes, and more!
6:00 - 9:30 p.m. Stingray Touch Exhibit
Admission: $2 Members / $4 Non-Members
Visitors are able to create their own moments with these captivating creatures at the Stingray Touch experience. The pool features cow nose stingrays that guests can interact with. Be touched by a ray!
6:00 - 10:00 p.m. Packrat Playhouse
This indoor play space allows children to discover the desert through the eyes of a packrat! Packrat Playhouse may reach capacity. 30-minute reserved play times are available at the Packrat Playhouse entrance.
6:00 - 9:00 p.m. Art Exhibits
'Sonoran Treasures' is on view in the Ironwood Gallery. Through this juried selection of 2D and 3D works, the Southern Arizona Arts Guild (SAAG) examines the interconnected relationships between flora, fauna, and the distinctive geology of the Southwest. 'Sonoran Treasures' takes an intimate look at the rich diversity of plants and animals that define the Sonoran Desert, fostering a deeper appreciation for the desert and encouraging thoughtful stewardship of its remarkable yet vulnerable landscape.
"Of Bears, Bulbs & Berries' opens today in the Baldwin Gallery! This photographic exhibition by Jimmy Fike invites viewers to look beyond landscape as scenery and to consider it as a living system shaped by ecological relationships of use, and loss.
Signature Drink — Prickly Pear Mimosa: Champagne, Orange Juice, Prickly Pear Syrup
🌙 ABOUT COOL SUMMER NIGHTS:
Open till 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays June–August! Cool Summer Nights is included with Museum Admission.
The Desert Museum is lovely during the day, but it’s even cooler after dark! Join us every Saturday night throughout the summer to beat the heat while learning something neat! The desert comes alive at night as nocturnal animals awake: Bats perform aerial acrobatics in pursuit of dinner, otters splash around in their pond, and scorpions glow green under black light. Bring your flashlight and explore, grab a refreshing drink and wander, experience a live animal encounter, scamper in Packrat Playhouse, feel the touch of a stingray, or participate in special nightly activities.
