Animal lovers can enjoy spending more time with the wild residents at the San Diego Zoo with the attraction’s extended summer hours.

Nighttime Zoo, which the park boasts as a wildly fun summertime experience, offers visitors the chance to stay at the zoo for longer periods of time from June 3 to Sept. 5. During that period, the park’s hours will be as followed:

  • June 3 to 30 (except for June 18): 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
  • July 1 to Sept. 5: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

As part of the late-night fun, the zoo will offer seasonal summer treats and live entertainment in the form of musical performances, acrobats and dancers.

“Nighttime Zoo has long been a favorite summer event, but this year it starts even earlier—meaning the Zoo will be open late for 94 adventure-filled nights,” the zoo said in a press release.
