On the coast of Southern California, San Diego is a popular destination for tourists visiting the state. There are a variety of daytime activities such as going to the beach and shopping at Seaport Village, but sometimes people overlook the nighttime activities. The city is full of things to see and do during the evening hours, many of which cannot be done during the day.
Nighttime at the San Diego Zoo is a special event held each year during June through September from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. each night. The activities are different each year, but there is always plenty of fun. Some events of past seasons include splash painting in the front plaza and a free-flight bird show featuring birds housed at the zoo.
