It can be hard to entertain kids during the long summer months when they're out of school, so once again we're offering 10 weeks of free summer kids events at our stores. These events are fun, educational, and most importantly, free!

This year, the fun starts the first week of June and concludes the first week of August with our famous back-to-school party. With magicians, arts & crafts, science and animal education programs, music, parties and more – this is going to be a summer your kids will never forget. Each store has a different schedule for the summer, so be sure to check out the PDF flyers for Tucson, Phoenix, and Flagstaff to find out what’s happening at the Bookmans nearest you.

In Tucson, we're kicking off the first week of summer events with a Pirates of the Sonoran Desert adventure! Come search for hidden treasure and "walk the plank"in this fun-filled interactive pirate adventure.

In Phoenix, the great Arizona puppet theatre presents "Jack and the Beanstalk," a humorous version of the classic tale of a boy, a bean and a giant. In Mesa, the Phoenix Zoo presents: Animal Kingdom! Experience the wide variety of the animal kingdom and discover the amazing characteristics of the animal world!

In Flagstaff, Tony Norris' Old-Time Kids' Music Show and Wild West Entertainment will have a kid-centric hoedown with balloon animals, prizes, games, fun and more.

We hope to see you there!
