As the sun goes down, the fun heats up as Nighttime Zoo returns to the San Diego Zoo!
Groove with our house band, Rock and Roar. Be dazzled by acrobats and dancers. And
experience awe-inspiring wildlife moments all evening.
Nighttime Zoo is a colorful celebration of wildlife and the planet we all share.
Plus, it’s the last year of Nighttime Zoo, so bring the whole family and reminisce on your
favorite memories while making new ones.
Before the fun begins at 3:30pm, come meet our newest stars—giant pandas Yun Chuan and
Xin Bao—as early as 9am at Denny Sanford Panda Ridge.
Watch them explore dynamic landscapes, devour fresh bamboo, and remind us how one iconic
species can unite the world with a single smile.
Every visit supports over 30 years of groundbreaking conservation by the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance—helping protect giant pandas and the forests they call home.
Join us May 22 through August 9 at the San Diego Zoo!
