Lions, tigers, and the zoo, oh my! Summer is here which means that the night time San Diego Zoo can commence. Summer means staying out late, and experiencing the live entertainment that the zoo can provide you. There will be live music and entertainment along with a couple of surprises. This event is from June 18^th – September 4^th, and is sponsored by Toyota.

Visit the Conrad Prebys Africa Rocks, the San Diego Zoo’s newest edition. There are activities, performances and even some dining choices available on their website. Come learn more about a special relationship between a cheetah and a dog at the Keeper Talk: Cheetahs are Cool.  Watch this unusual pair interact, while getting the inside scoop of their friendship. Or come to the Rock and Roar where you can jam out to your favorite songs on a warm summer night while being surrounded by friends, and of course, your favorite animals.

The Funky Monkeys will be dancing and showing us some new dance moves that you won’t want to miss. This will be your kids’ new favorite summer activity, and it’s something you and your family can all do it together.
