The thunderous roar of Rex the lion sparked a dream more than a century ago, and that cacophony of sound inspired the world-renowned San Diego Zoo. So join us as we roar into the New Year with pride, celebrating all you make possible for wildlife worldwide!

Tune in on January 1 as our float makes its way through Pasadena during the 135th Rose Parade, sharing our conservation story with the world while inspiring millions to join us as allies for wildlife. Enjoy this sneak peek of our float and discover how rustling koalas, gliding polar bears, and the beating heart of a very special orangutan create a universal language of hope—and remind us that we’re all connected.

Visit the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park to pick up your exclusive Rose Parade memorabilia and catch the last few days of festive fun at Jungle Bells and Wild Holidays! Can’t wait? Take a look at our Rose Parade collector’s merchandise today. We’ll see you soon!

Thank you for being part of our family, and for all you make possible for wildlife here in San Diego, and across the globe.
