ZooLights is a blast for kids or adults. My favorite part will always be the trees lit up and dancing to the holiday music. Lights begin on Thanksgiving Day so after your feast you can get into the holiday spirit right away. Tickets range from $8 to $12 (depending on the day of the week and if you already have a zoo membership) and can be purchased in advance at the zoo, online here, or purchased at the gate when you enter ZooLights. This is also a great gift idea--buy one ticket for every member of the family! Also, the zoo staff says the crowds thin out as the night wears on so if you want less crowds, get there at 8pm instead of 6pm.
Cruisin' for a Cause
Saturday, Nov 27th, 2pm to 9pm
If you have a hot rod, you can register it for $10 the night of the event. Proceeds go to the Mesa Police Department Honor Guard and you get a chance to win some great prizes. If you don't have a hot rod, come down and check out all the vehicles, enter the kids in a hot wheels derby, have some food and enjoy viewing some police vehicles, checking out the vendors and browsing downtown Mesa stores and restaurants.
