FULL MOON TOUR
A GUIDED EVENING TOUR OF OUR CENTER
Join us at Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center for a unique guided tour of our conservation center by the light of a full moon.
Each month a Full Moon Tour offers guests the chance to see what our native wildlife is up to in the mysterious hours of night. If you're lucky, you might even hear a serenade from the Mexican gray wolves or the tiny howl of the grasshopper mouse. After the tour, watch the full moon rise while enjoying a selection of light refreshments.
Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center offers Full Moon guided group tours of our conservation center by reservation only, so you must purchase tickets online in advance.
We recommend any parties of 10 or more book a private tour. Please call the education number to do so!
To register for a Full Moon tour, click the Book Now button at the top of this page. We'd love to show you around!
Tickets are $40 per person and $10 for kids under 3.
The tour takes place completely outside. Although there is shade and places to sit, expect to be on your feet for the majority of the tour. Dress for the weather, bring water and wear close-toed shoes. We recommend guests arrive 5-10 minutes early and allow 2 hours for your experience. After you book your tour, we will send you a confirmation email along with our virtual liability waiver. Please save a tree and complete the waiver form prior to your arrival!
Interested in bringing a gift or donation for the animals when you come for your tour? We accept both monetary donations as well as physical ones. Check out our Amazon Wishlist and Donation Wishlist! If the donation is perishable, please contact us prior to your tour at (480) 471-3621 so we can schedule someone to receive it.
Please note, this guided tour lasts up to 2 hours, and is not ideal for children under the age of 5. If you're looking for something geared toward little ones, check out our Southwest Wildlife Family Day.
