Orchid Odyssey

Third Friday of each month

First Sunday of March, June, September, and December

The Zoo's orchid greenhouse, home to over 3,000 orchid plants from over 800 species, varieties, and cultivars, is open to Zoo visitors during Orchid Odyssey. Our orchid expert, as well as members of the San Diego County Orchid Society, are on hand to answer questions during this "open house." The orchid greenhouse is located on the path just west of the African Kopje's meerkats. Please note: There are no Botanical Bus Tours offered on Sunday Orchid Odyssey days.
