They're Here!

Join us in welcoming Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to Panda Ridge! You will be able to visit them at the San Diego Zoo beginning at noon on August 8. For 30 years, we've worked alongside our conservation partners in China to save, protect, and care for giant pandas. The arrival of this remarkable duo is the exciting next step in our journey to safeguard the future for this threatened species.

Prepare for your visit by sharing in this historic moment with us and tuning into the panda-tastic episode of the Amazing Wildlife podcast, where Dr. Megan Owen shares fascinating insights on this iconic species.

Hidden Gems for a Perfect Summer Day

Explore "chill" places for relaxing moments this summer. At the Zoo, take a leisurely stroll through Fern Canyon Trail and step out of the sun at Polar Bear Plunge's underwater viewing area. Break your walkabout at the Safari Park and witness platypuses play where it's always night during the day, then enter Hidden Jungle—a sliver of tropical rainforest with rich green foliage. Jump into even more cool places at the Zoo and Safari Park this summer!

Zoo Day at the Padres

August 22

Celebrate two San Diego icons in a game-winning combination: the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Padres. On August 22, we're celebrating the return of giant pandas and bringing all the Zoo fun you love to Petco Park with Dr. Zoolittle, whimsical wildlife performers, and special surprises throughout the game. With the purchase of a panda-tastic Theme Game package, you'll even get to bring home a limited edition panda bobblehead. Root for the Padres while you support our conservation efforts worldwide—it's a home run!
