The Force is strong at the OC Zoo.

Families can enjoy a day of Star Wars fun that includes Star Wars characters, crafts, games, and photo opportunities. Zoo animals receive special treats and there are animal meet-and-greets throughout the day.

The first 100 children, ages 12 & under, in a Star Wars costume receives a special gift and a free train ride ticket at Irvine Park Railroad.

All visitors are encouraged to come in Star Wars attire/costume and bring cameras/phones for free photos with Star Wars characters.

Reservations are not required. Parking is $5 per vehicle. Activities are free with paid zoo admission.
