Two wonderful and exciting events happen at the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park over the months of February and March.

Bring the whole family for a weekend of excitement during Discovery Days where you can get to know orangutans, gorillas, and bonobos. Participate in question-and-answer sessions with animal keepers, meet Dr. Zoolittlee, try your hand at wildlife data collection, and even create your very own DNA bracelet.

Once a year, the magic of butterflies sparks wonder and imagination among visitors both young and old at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. It’s a three-week period, March 24 to April 15, when guests walk among thousands of brightly colored butterflies in a huge aviary filled with lush green plants and flowers. Guests who come year after year know to have their cell phones and cameras ready to snap a shot when one of the delicate beauties lands on their shoulder or head!

The 30 species hail from Africa, Asia and Central and South America and come with exotic names such as zebra longwing, orange-barred tiger and Grecian shoemaker. Others are more familiar like the monarch, giant swallowtail and blue morpho, but this is a chance to see them up close! Special activities are scheduled throughout the Park during Butterfly Jungle. There also will be butterfly-themed foods from the Park’s kitchens, such as cupcakes, to enjoy.
