Splashing, ice treats and fun!

Join animals around the Zoo in an all-weekend celebration jam-packed with cool activities — literally! Watch our animals have a feeding frenzy with icy treats and summery enrichments.

Then have a splash yourself on our lily pad fountain! Climb on the playground, slide like a penguin and meet our tiny critters. Don't forget to feed the goats!

Stop by the Tidal Touch Zone in the Pacific Seas Aquarium and get an anemone hug around one finger. Feel the rough texture of sea stars, the spikiness of sea urchins, and the hardness of crab shells. You’ll feel like you’re at the beach.
