Swing Into Action at San Diego Zoo’s Wild Weekend: African Forest

We’re going bananas over here! San Diego Zoo is transforming into a lush African paradise, and we’ve got the inside scoop on all the wild fun. Get ready to channel your inner Tarzan (or Jane) at the Wild Weekend: African Forest event.

Wild Weekend: African Forest at San Diego Zoo

Primate Party With a Purpose

Ever wondered what it’s like to hang with gorillas? Well, now’s your chance to find out! We’re celebrating World Gorilla Day in style, and it’s going to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

You’ll be surrounded by the sights and sounds of a Central African forest, learning about some of the coolest (and most endangered) primates on the planet. Western lowland gorillas, we’re looking at you!

But it’s not all monkey business. They’re on a mission to protect these incredible creatures and their homes. From the Congo Basin to Cameroon, they’re working with local communities to keep the world’s second-largest tropical rainforest thriving.

See you there!

Bring the whole family for two days of forest-themed fun. They’ve got immersive activities that’ll have everyone from tiny tots to grown-ups swinging from the metaphorical vines.

Want to make a real difference? Swing by the African Forest Conservation Hub to discover how you can be a wildlife superhero.

The Wild Weekend: African Forest event happens on September 21 and 22, running from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM each day. To buy tickets and to see the full schedule, click here.
