PDZA’s Love at the Zoo

Calendar/Event Details

Sat, February 15, 2025
Sun, February 16, 2025

Show your love for our aquatic friends by joining us for Love at the Zoo! Bring Valentines and find hidden hearts throughout the weekend. Love at the Zoo is free for members.

Watch animals enjoy Valentine-themed enrichments like heart-shaped ice treats, bamboo hearts, whipped cream, watermelon, and more!

Who loves animals? Walk the Zoo to spot 12 big heart cut-outs, each with a QR code unlocking a secret web page full of cute animal pics, videos and fun facts! Look for lovely photos ops and decorations scattered throughout the Zoo.

Want to say "I Love You" in a special way? Send a Valentine with an animal design and cute pun! Save and print, or send a free e-card. Or, make one in our plaza during Love at the Zoo! Guests are invited to bring a paper Valentine from home or make one at our Valentine station. Just drop them into our specially made Valentine mailboxes.
