Hot Diggity Dog (and cat and fish and bird)! Whether you've got a furry friend, a scaly sidekick or a feathered flock, we all agree that pets rock! They bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love into our lives. They're our snuggle buddies, our adventure partners, and our loyal companions. This summer we'll celebrate the special bonds between humans and their pets. Join us as we turn the dog days of summer into the cat's meow with thrilling rides, challenging games, mouth-watering food, incredible exhibits, and top-notch entertainment at our Summer Pet-tacular!

Join us for an exciting and challenging kayaking adventure through Chula Vista’s coastal habitats, ending at the restored Chula Vista Wetlands! This guided tour takes you through dynamic waterways where you’ll have the chance to spot local wildlife, including birds, fish, and other coastal creatures. While we welcome participants of all skill levels, please be aware that the kayaking portion is fairly long and requires a bit of endurance. The wind can also pick up midway through the tour, making for a more challenging but rewarding experience.
