PDZA’s Love at the Zoo

Calendar/Event Details

Show your love for our furry, feathered, & scaled friends by joining us for Love at the Zoo! See animal enrichments, bring Valentines, and interact with zoo staff during the weekend.

Free with admission or membership.

Watch animals enjoy heart-shaped enrichments, see decorations and photo opportunities throughout the zoo, and participate in activities to learn all about why we love animals! Plus, twelve hearts will be hidden around the zoo to find and discover things we love about ocean animals.

Enrichments are a big part of caring for animals. Learn how keepers design enrichments to stimulate and encourage natural behaviors and see if you can match the animal to the enrichment.
