Animal enrichment is highlighted during these special weekends at the Zoo. With keeper talks and special activities for the animals, these weekends are enriching for the Zoo's guests as well as the animals!
Enrichment is accomplished by adding to an animal's environment or changing that environment to satisfy an animal's physical and psychological needs. While enrichment is done regularly at the San Diego Zoo, All About Enrichment Weekends feature scheduled activities with a variety of animals, with different enrichment activities and different animals each month. All About Enrichment Weekends also offer special keeper talks throughout the Zoo.

A full schedule of each month’s enrichment activities will be posted at the front entrance of the Zoo. In addition, you can check here to see what animals will be featured each month.
All About Enrichment Weekends are not only stimulating for the animals, but provide you an opportunity to learn more about many aspects of these critters and what it is like to care for them. Come back every month to see what is enriching the animals’ lives!
