Two new shows this summer!

The Bubble Show

A Billion Bubbles, Some Balls, and a Balloon

Have you ever been encased in a giant bubble? What about being surrounded by so many bubbles that it feels like you're swimming under water? This summer, get away from the heat and join us for a new, spectacular summer show that's all about bubbles! Nightly at 5 and 6 , plus 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays in the Park's Benbough Amphitheater.

The Poop Show

The Wild Animal Park has a HUGE problem. Who is making three tons of poop every day? The animals, of course. All animals poop. Which animal makes the most poop? What can we do with all this waste? If we can recycle poop, we can recycle anything. Join us for a show that explores the ultimate in recycling. Nightly at 3:30, 4:30, and 6:30 in the Park's Discovery Station Amphitheater.

There's more!
