San Diego, Ca. Spring Festivities are scheduled for March 18 through May 14. Celebrate the arrival of spring in full color at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, with the return of Spring Safari Introducing the Butterfly Jungle. Visitors and their families can embark on a wild and global adventure without ever leaving Southern California, and each visit directly contributes to saving wildlife both in our own backyard and around the world.
With the arrival of spring, butterflies also arrive. As part of the Spring Safari, the Safari Park will once again feature an optional Premium experience with the Butterfly Jungle Safari, where guests can wander through the Hidden Jungle Aviary among hundreds of fluttering colorful butterflies, have the chance to feed them and learn about its very important role in the ecosystem.
In addition to the impressive butterflies, Spring Safari Introducing the Butterfly Jungle will highlight the incredible local wildlife in the Southwest region, including biodiversity hotspot San Diego County, home to a variety of native plants and animals, including two of the main species of the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance: the burrowing owl and the desert tortoise. Visitors are also invited to visit Safari Park’s Native Nectar Garden and Baja Gardens for narrated information on the incredible plant life.
Throughout the event, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park will be filled with spring delights and festivities around every corner. Visitors will enjoy live entertainment from the energetic dance group The Bee Boyz, the musical duo Bluebirds and the talented juggler Bee Plus, among others. A variety of strawberry-themed food and beverages will be available for purchase to enhance the “all things spring” experience.
Spring Safari with Butterfly Jungle will take place from March 18 to May 14. Registration for the optional 20-minute Butterfly Jungle Safari experience is available daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. m. and tickets are $15 per person (ages 1 and up).
