Indulge your appetite for adventure at The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens' Hoppy Hour — no passport required!
Transport yourself to the enchanting land Down Under, right here in the heart of the Coachella Valley! Join us every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00-5:00pm at the Kookaburra Cafe for a journey featuring all the best sights, sounds, and savory flavors! Hosted on a patio overlooking the stunning Australian Adventures habitat, you'll enjoy exclusive Hoppy Hour appetizers and half-off on the entire bar menu!
As you savor local draft beers or craft cocktails and relish mouthwatering bites like chicken with pearl waffles or our specialty cowboy caviar nachos, take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the Australian outback. Keep your eyes peeled for free-roaming Bennett’s wallabies gracefully hopping through the open-air habitat or yellow-footed rock wallabies leaping across the striking red rock formations below. And if you're lucky, you might catch the delightful calls of the laughing kookaburra echoing through the air.
This event is perfect for animal lovers, foodies, or anyone looking for a wonderfully wild mid-week escape! So, hop to it and make your plans today!
