San Diego Zoo

At our world-famous Zoo, you'll discover more than 12,000 animals of more than 650 rare and exotic species in a beautiful 100-acre tropical garden. Spectacular bioclimatic exhibits like Monkey Trails, Lost Forest, Elephant Odyssey, Gorilla Tropics, Sun Bear Forest and Tiger River house endangered species in enclosures that mimic their natural habitats. Learning adventures for all ages await at the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and the Conservation Education Lab at the Beckman Center—and in virtual education programs available online, and curriculum that teachers can use in their own classrooms. Our Education programs offer everything from pre-school learning adventures and all-grade-level Summer Camps to wildlife exploration options for teens, community engagement programs, and teacher workshops.
