San Diego Zoo Connection

San Diego Zoo Night
The San Diego Zoo sits in Balboa Park, about 15 minutes north of Petco Park. Founded in 1916, it’s one of the most famous zoos in the world. The elephant exhibit has been a centerpiece for decades, and elephants remain one of the zoo’s most popular attractions.

This isn’t the first time the Padres and Zoo have partnered for promotional nights. The collaboration makes sense—both are San Diego institutions, and both draw families looking for entertainment.
