Rating: 4 out of 5Symphony Under Stars Always Impresses
by nmteacher on 7/12/09Rio Grande Zoo - AlbuquerqueI've attended the Symphony Under the Stars events for about 10 years and it is always an enjoyable evening. The NMSO is excellent and it's nice to hear them in the relaxed atmosphere of the zoo. There are families with young children, couples of all ages, and groups that look like small family reunions. Some people dress casually and pack a picnic. Others dress up more and might buy one of the higher end picnic baskets with wine. If you buy lawn seats, which I highly recommend, bring a small tarp to put under your blanket. Otherwise the grass will soak your blanket quickly. I recommend packing a blanket and a couple of chairs so you can claim your stake on a little bigger piece of zoo real estate for the evening. It will assure that the neighboring group of people isn't sitting movie-theater close.
