Cool Summer Nights Returns to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum: Saturday June 6, 2026 Kicks Off a 13-Week Run on the West Side of Tucson

Three Saturdays from now — June 6, 2026 — the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum opens its summer evening program, Cool Summer Nights, with extended Saturday hours until 10 p.m. and a thirteen-week run through the end of August. The opener is Bat Night, the first 250 evening arrivals after 6 p.m. receive a free black-light flashlight, and a separate adults-only Bat Night Tequila Tasting features a Grey Wolf Paloma flight. The museum sits twelve miles west of downtown Tucson at 2021 N. Kinney Road in zip code 85743, adjacent to Saguaro National Park West and Tucson Mountain Park, reached by the Gates Pass scenic drive across the Tucson Mountains. Here is a fully sourced May 13, 2026 walk-through for Tucson residents, Marana and Oro Valley families planning a summer Saturday, west-side buyers evaluating Tucson Estates and Picture Rocks, and any out-of-state visitor making one more reservation before the heat sets in.
