Wild Weekends at the L.A. Zoo: Lunar New Year

The L.A. Zoo is bringing back its themed weekends, kicking things off this month with a Lunar New Year celebration—and what better way to welcome the Year of the Snake than by hanging out with real snakes? Take a self-guided tour through the animals of the Chinese zodiac, watch a Mangshan pit viper feeding and write down your hopes for the new year on the Wall of Well Wishes. You can also catch the Asian Arts Talents Foundation’s Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese dance performances, as well as calligraphy, lantern-making and paper-cutting demos. All weekend activities are included in the price of zoo admission.
