Experience 'Love on the Wild Side' at Riverbanks Zoo

The zoo is offering couples a special date night.

Riverbanks Zoo is offering couples a romantic, animal-themed night out to celebrate Valentine's Day. 

The adults-only event features a walking tour with an inside look at the world of animal love. Couples will learn how a koala’s strong scent and loud voice play a role in mating and dating, explore the unique social structure of hyenas and discover other interesting facts about animal courtship.

They'll also sit down to a three-course dinner prepared by Riverbanks’ executive chef. The meal includes a signature cocktail. A cash bar also will be available.
