Tucson’s beloved Reid Park Zoo is rolling out the welcome mat for a brand-new adventure: Pathway to Asia, a major new exhibit that opened its doors to the public on Friday, November 14. The long-anticipated addition brings some of the world’s most awe-inspiring animals — including tigers and Komodo dragons — right to the heart of the Old Pueblo.
The opening marks a milestone moment for the zoo and for Tucson families looking for a world-class wildlife experience close to home. Pathway to Asia gives guests the chance to come face-to-face with majestic big cats and the legendary Komodo dragon, the world’s largest living lizard, all within the familiar, community-cherished setting of Reid Park.
The new exhibit reflects the zoo’s ongoing commitment to connecting Tucson residents — and visitors from across the region — with wildlife from around the globe. Reid Park Zoo has long been a cornerstone of family life in Tucson, and Pathway to Asia promises to deepen that tradition by offering immersive, up-close encounters with animals that many guests may never have the chance to see anywhere else.
Whether you’re a longtime zoo member or planning your first visit, Pathway to Asia is a fresh reason to head to Reid Park this fall. With cooler temperatures settling over Tucson, the timing couldn’t be better for a stroll through the zoo’s newest corner of the world. Grab the family, pack some snacks, and get ready to be amazed — Tucson’s zoo just got even more extraordinary.
