Summertime is in full swing here in the Hudson Valley, and there's no shortage of fun things to do to keep the entire family busy without leaving the area.

One local attraction has introduced something new for the summer months that is sure to get the attention of the Hudson Valley.

Trevor Zoo Launches Animals After Hours Events, Last Friday of Each Month

The Trevor Zoo in Millbrook is one of the Hudson Valley's best hidden treasures (in my opinion anyway). This summer they've announced a new series of events that will allow for family fun into the night - Animals After Hours.

The last Friday of the month, rather than closing at 5pm like they normally do, the zoo will stay open until 9pm, and they'll even be offering some on site dinner opportunities. Food trucks will be serving up dinner, and this family friendly event will allow visitors to come inside the zoo after hours for a special late night experience.

Friday June 30th and Friday July 28th the Tomáš Tapas food truck will roll into Millbrook, while Misto will be cooking up dinner on Friday August 25th.

You can make your zoo reservations by visiting their website here.
