Join us onsite for Fun Animal Friday with San Diego Humane Society!
Calling all animal lovers! Mark your calendars for Fun Animal Friday, a special event happening right here at the museum in collaboration with the San Diego Humane Society. Join us on Friday, March 29th from 10:00am to 11:30am for a morning filled with furry friends and fun activities.
The San Diego Humane Society will be introducing their canine ambassadors, offering a chance to meet these adorable pups up close. There will also be a live presentation to learn more about the Society’s work, a heartwarming storytime session, and even a special craft activity to unleash your creativity.
This event is included with your regular museum admission, so no need to register beforehand. However, opportunities to pet the animals are limited. To ensure the animals’ well-being, timed tickets will be distributed upon check-in. We recommend arriving early at the museum to maximize your chances of meeting these special guests. Additionally, a Hold Harmless form needs to be completed by all participants who wish to interact with the animals.
