Platypus Cam: Presented by Animal Crossing: New Horizons Game

The underwater world of the Safari Park’s platypus pair is as close as your online smartphone or computer. Relax by watching Birra and Eve—the only platypuses living outside Australia—as they swim and frolic in their world-class habitat’s three pools, naturalistic riverbanks, extensive tunnels and nesting areas.

Giraffes, rhinos, and more! Enjoy this live view of the African Plains habitat from the Kijamii Overlook at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

With slides to ride and rafts to build, the sun is always shining at the LEGOLAND and CHIMA Water Park!

The Cabrillo Sunset 5K Fun Run & Walk is a fundraiser in support of the underfunded programs at Cabrillo National Monument.

The route passes the park's most important landmarks before linking with the road down to the tidepools - where participants can enjoy spectacular views as the sun sets below the horizon. The route is entirely paved, but challenging, with a significant incline (200 foot loss/gain) as participants return uphill and back to the Visitors Center. First place winners in Men’s & Woman’s division will qualify for fee entrance in the Americas Finest City (AFC) Half Marathon

Walk, run or cheer! All REGISTERED participants will receive a numbered bib and event T-shirt. Walkers, runners and baby strollers are welcome; this is an event for your entire family.
