Highlights

The Desert Botanical Garden is offering free admission for dads on June 20, along with a beer discount and evening programming that includes 12 light installations across its trails.

All dads receive free entry with a paid child ticket on June 20 using code DADS26 at checkout. At the Cactus Cantina, dads can receive $1 off beer that evening; a Spiced Tequila Old Fashioned specialty cocktail is available June 20-21. A 10% membership discount is available through June 20 using code FATHER10.

The evening falls under the Garden's Flashlight Nights programming. Guests can join a Garden-wide scavenger hunt and kids can make a card for dads and father-figures. The Desert Oasis Garden After Dark light experience features 12 shimmering light installations illuminating the trails and the Garden's plants.

ABC15 and Kids Out and About Phoenix both flagged the June 20 event in their Father's Day roundups. Tickets are available at the Garden's ticketing page.

Tickets must be purchased in advance; the Garden's website lists June 20 as the target date for the full evening program.
