Special Events

R*I*T*Z

Rendezvous In The Zoo (R*I*T*Z) is a fancy and fun black-tie gala that benefits new exhibits at the Zoo and wild Animal Park. This soiree under that stars takes place at the Zoo and features dinner, dancing, entertainment, animal encounters, and more.

Celebration for the Critters

If you like to eat, drink, and be merry, the Celebration is the largest food and beverage event in San Diego. It’s held at the Zoo and truly makes a difference for animals and habitats because proceeds support our conservation efforts.

Symphony on the Wild Side

Join the Symphony at the San Diego Zoo for a special evening of music among the animals. Together, funds will be raised for each organization’s education programs.

Walk on the Wild Side

This is a great opportunity to mosey, amble, saunter, hike, and hoof it through the Zoo before it opens to the public. You’ll be raising awareness and funding for specific conservation projects.
