Get ready to attend the largest hands-on outdoor expo in Arizona.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department’s 2020 Outdoor Expo is scheduled for March 28-29 at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix. This family-friendly event is free and offers plenty of activities, including:

• Wildlife exhibits
• Family fishing tanks
• Kayaking at the 90,000-gallon “Lake Paddlemore”
• Trying out firearms in a safe, controlled environment on the range
• Cowboy mounted shooting competitions
• Outdoor recreation presentations

More than 150 exhibitors — including outdoor recreation and conservation groups, government agencies and commercial vendors of outdoor products and services — will be on site, as well.

“We’re not aware of any other free event of this scale that combines conservation, recreation and industry into such a welcoming environment for the public,” said Ty Gray, AZGFD director.

“This is where people can find plenty of hands-on activities, see educational exhibits, test and purchase the latest equipment and products, and connect with social organizations that can provide countless ‘next step’ experiences to support their outdoor passions.”
