As the kids of Amarillo are getting back on schedule and returning to school, parents need a break. They need a night out to congratulate themselves on a smooth first day of school drop-off. You remembered to get that coveted first-day-of-school picture, you’re winning.

So taking a night off to go out and enjoy a dinner should be in your future. Oh, but those kids are home and you don't have a sitter. Don't let that stop you because the Amarillo Zoo is ready to help you out.

A Perfect Night Out for Parents

They are planning a perfect night out for the kids, so you can spend a couple of hours with dinner or some shopping, maybe even a movie.

What Kids Can Expect at the Zoo

The Amarillo Zoo is hosting a Kids Night Out. It's a time for the kiddos to head to the Amarillo Zoo. They will have a pizza dinner and watch a movie. You, as parents, can have your own dinner and a movie during this time.

The kids will also be able to have some animal encounters. I mean, this is the zoo, so it only makes sense. You can feel great about the kids having a fun night, so you can enjoy a couple of hours to yourself.

I know if I signed my granddaughter up for this, she would want to spend all night at the Bobcats area. Those are her favorites. Who doesn't love the zoo? Let the kids spend an evening there while you get a date night in Amarillo.
