The San Diego Zoo Centennial Celebration is in Full Swing!
See what’s new at the San Diego Zoo!
From its humble beginnings when Dr. Harry Wegeforth was inspired to bring a zoo to San Diego, to what is now a top attraction for family fun in Southern California, the San Diego Zoo has led the pack in conservation and education. Read more about Dr. Wegeforth and his vision here!
Thankfully, our kids get to grow up in a world where conservation comes as naturally to them as using an iPad. One of the best ways for kids to learn how to take care of the earth is to spend time with the animals that roam it!
2016 marks the San Diego Zoo centennial and the Zoo is going whole hog! There are new events scheduled throughout the summer in honor of the San Diego Zoo centennial—come on in!
All Day Mom welcomes partner The World Famous San Diego Zoo with this sponsored post!
Family Fun at the San Diego Zoo!
Fun fact: Our family was first bitten by the travel bug at the San Diego Zoo! We traveled from Central California to San Diego for our first family vacation, to celebrate Jefferson’s second birthday. There is nothing like watching your little one’s face light up when he sees his favorite animals in real life!
Since that first magical visit, our family has collected many happy memories at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and we can’t wait to see what’s new at the Zoo as the San Diego Zoo celebrates 100 years this summer!
Know Before You Go: 100 Animal Tales to Celebrate 100 Years!
The San Diego Zoo is a leader in education and the San Diego Zoo Centennial website includes fun activities for kids that will teach them all about the animals they’ll encounter when they visit the zoo!
My kids had a blast working their way through the 100 Animals learning game! Under the 100 Animals tab you’ll find photos of 100 of the adorable, amazing, and surprising animals that have found a home at the San Diego Zoo during its 100 year history, along with kid-friendly tales of how each animal came to live at the zoo!
Roaring Forward Into the Next 100 Years!
Conservation is the cornerstone of the San Diego Zoo’s plan for the future! Come alongside the San Diego Zoo as it ups its conservation efforts through the next 100 years!
The San Diego Zoo is carrying the roar forward into our next 100 years, with big plans and the audacious vision of fighting to end extinction. So—what’s next?
