On this day, the Zoo will open its gates early for Zoo members. Members can watch many of the animals eating their breakfast as well as enjoy special breakfast items at the Zoo's Ridley-Tree House restaurant. Amur Leopard eagerly awaits seconds on breakfast. These themes alternate throughout the summer camp sessions. For more information please go to the Zoo Camp page.
Local restaurants offer tempting tastes.
The evening features live entertainment, dancing, mariachis, margaritas, and more. Flower Girls greet Santa Barbara's Dignataries - guests enjoy the fare of many local restaurants and many dress in the spirit of Fiesta. This annual fund-raiser is unique in that guests dress in casual or safari theme. Proceeds from this event always benefit the development of new exhibits at the Zoo. There will be information booths and speakers on a variety of topics of interest to seniors as well as guided tours, animal demonstrations, and special refreshments.
