The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens is proud to launch its 50th Anniversary celebrations with a Birthday Party on Saturday, January 11, 2020 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

“As we honor our 50th Anniversary, it’s a great time to look back and see how far we have come, not only as a place for families to enjoy, but as a conservation entity truly making an impact in this world,” said The Living Desert President/CEO Allen Monroe. “More importantly, we look forward to the next 50 years and all we can accomplish together. We invite everyone to help us celebrate our past, present, and future.”
The first 1,000 guests will receive free commemorative sunglasses, while supplies last. All party activities are free for members and with paid park admission.
