You will want to mark your calendars for Twilight Tuesdays at the ZOO! On Tuesdays in July, the Sedgwick County Zoo stays open late and gives us a special admission discount. And yes – Cox Twilight Tuesdays at the Zoo are happening this year!

This year, the concerts are back for Twilight Tuesdays at the Zoo (schedule coming soon).

Twilight Tuesdays Zoo Hours

During Twilight Tuesdays, the zoo will be open for extended hours – from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Your reduced $5 admission is good all day! Bring the family to the ZOO and enjoy some quality time strolling through the zoo and seeing all the animals. 

Pro Tip: Some animals are more active in the evening hours when the temperatures have dropped, so take advantage of this special admission price. 

The Twilight Tuesdays event used to be when the zoo would stay open late for members to stroll the zoo and enjoy cooler evening hours. Later it became an evening event that was open to everyone at a reduced admission price.
