Travel to India with the L.A. Zoo!

November 2 to 18, 2008

Experience the drama of wild India as the forest and grasslands come alive with the sounds of Sambar deer crunching on grass, the pounding hoofs of the guar, playful langur leaping from branch to branch...then suddenly a hush descends announcing the arrival of one of the world’s most magnificent creatures – the wild tiger!

This summer Los Angeles is going to be crawling with bugs, and we’re inviting you to buzz on over to the Los Angeles Zoo, the Getty Center, California Science Center, Kidspace Museum, and the Natural History Museum as we celebrate bugs and insects.

Butterflies, bees, and ladybugs beckon!

The Zoo is hosting the ladybug! On your next visit, don't forget to pick up a fun bug kit at the gift shops in the International Marketplace and add your ladybug to the collection!

Each time you visit a different venue until August 31, 2008, you’ll receive a replica of a bug to add to your collection. Complete your bug kit and you’ll be on your way to becoming a junior entomologist!

Bug net and protective clothing are optional. A spirit of adventure is required.
