Come to celebrate the Year of the Pig!
To commemorate the Year of the Pig, the San Francisco Zoo is thrilled to host Lunar New Year celebrations! Soak up the ambiance of the occasion and marvel at traditional Chinese lion and folk dance performances at 11:00 and 1:00 daily in The Depot. Go on a Zodiac Scavenger Hunt through the Zoo to learn fun facts about the animals found on the Chinese calendar. (Download a copy of the Scavenger Hunt here.)Make sure to stop by the Family Farm to see our kunekune pigs in celebration of Year of the Pig!
Guests born in the Year of the Pig (1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019) will receive free Zoo admission on that day.
