It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Tohono Chul Park.
Tohono Chul Garden Bistro is hosting two holiday dinner buffets from 5 – 8:30 p.m. on Friday, December 15 – Saturday, December 16.
Before or after dinner, stroll along the paths garlanded with more than a million twinkling lights while musicians and artists perform throughout the gardens.
If you’re still looking for that perfect gift you might want to cruise into the museum gift shops along the way.
When you’re finished gazing at the lights and stretching your legs, head into the Garden Bistro for the unique holiday buffet.
Seats are $36.95 for adults, $17.50 for children eight – 12 years old, and anyone under seven years old is free.
If you’d like to reserve your seats you can call (520) 742-6455.
