Lore Behind the Roar: 100 Years of the San Diego Zoo
1649 El Prado, Suite 3, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $6 - $10
The San Diego History Center celebrates the centennial of the world-famous San Diego Zoo with a new exhibition telling the story of the zoo’s humble beginnings in 1916 to its evolution as a major tourist attraction and global conservation organization.
Visitors can “ride” on a vintage zoo tour bus, hear stories from long-time zoo employees, live the life of a zookeeper, explore an extensive animal and plant collection, and learn things they didn’t know about the world’s most popular zoo. The exhibition opens to the public on Sunday, March 20, and runs through January 31.
