Monday Munchies is supported by Botanica.
One of the coolest places in Midtown Tucson just got cooler.
Every Friday from June 6 to September 26, the Tucson Botanical Gardens team is offering $5 root beer floats.
That’s not the only $5 deal—it’s only $5 to get into the Botanical Gardens on Friday, too, which is usually $19 for adults.
“Enjoy a summer stroll under the canopy of 100-year-old shade trees, the lush green tones of over 20 specialty garden spaces, and a delicious $5 Friday Root Beer Float at the café, Edna’s Eatery by Charly’s Grill.”
Heads up: the $5 deal is only valid on Fridays (excluding Friday, July 4).
Dog Days of Summer
Also, from now through September 30, the Tucson Botanical Gardens folks are inviting visitors and members to bring along their “well-behaved, on-leash canine companions.”
“Fido can enjoy good smells, lots of shady pathways, and a stop at an outdoor table at the café to sample the special dog chow menu. Water stations, poop bags, and dog treats are available.”
Back in March of this year, Tucson Botanical Gardens was been ranked #4 in the country for “Best Botanical Garden” in the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards for 2025 — for the third year in a row.
Tucson Botanical Gardens being placed in the top five sure means a lot to the team and the community — it’s a recognition that Michelle Conklin, President and CEO, is extremely grateful for.
“Securing this national recognition once again is a true testament to the beauty, charm, and spirit that make our garden so special,” she added. “Your unwavering support (and votes) continue to elevate us on the national stage, and we couldn’t have done it without you!”
The Tucson Botanical Gardens are located at 2150 N. Alvernon Way. For more information, call (520) 326-9686 or visit tucsonbotanical.org.
