The Santa Barbara Zoo invites visitors to stay late and enjoy the longer summer days with After Hours at the Zoo, 5-8 p.m. Wednesdays through July 27.

During After Hours at the Zoo, visitors can ride the train; play lawn games; buy food, including dinner options and s’mores kits; and listen to music.

While some animals will already be “in bed,” a number of them, like the giraffes, will be out and about to visit during Santa Barbara’s golden hour.

After Hours at the Santa Barbara Zoo is free with zoo admission or zoo membership; online reservations are required.  To make reservations for After Hours at the Zoo, click here.
