9:30 am – 6:00 pm

All dads will receive half-off Zoo general admission Sunday, June 17! Bring your dad to the Zoo for a wild time on this special day! Stroll through the open air Budgie Buddies exhibit to feed the friendly birds, touch a stingray and a sea star, see the live animal show, and more!

And don’t forget to play in the sand – our Baja Beach sand sculpture is up through summer, with sand demos and play all day on weekends.
