Starting on July 11 until September 5, San Diego Zoo will have new nighttime hours so that all visitors can enjoy the facilities for a little while longer. This is ideal so that people who work can visit it during the summer.

What are these new hours? The zoo will extend its hours so that it is opened from 9 AM to 9 PM. It should be noted that this Nighttime Zoo is included in the membership and in tickets bought online or at the ticket booth.

The zoo has stated on their website that some (though not all) wild animals are visible when night falls. At any moment, animals are able to decide whether they’ll be inside or outside their visible areas.

Among the shows you will find at this hour will be live music as well as a very interesting activity where children are invited to interactive dances and competitions, fun for all ages.

Also, there is an African dance show that you can watch that mixes skillful art mastery, energy, and fun. According to San Diego Zoo: “These athletes will certainly impress you with their awesome acrobatics.”
