From Oct. 1 through Nov. 28, Nintendo of America and the San Diego Zoo invite explorers of all ages to join the search for these new guests: the small, plantlike creatures of the Pikmin game series, available on the Nintendo Switch family of systems. In this adventure and puzzle-solving series, Pikmin are found in dirt patches, in blades of grass and with the unusual critters that share the world around them — and the Pikmin themselves come in different types, from the fire-resistant Red Pikmin (like the one above) to the Blue Pikmin that can swim. And just like in the Pikmin series of games, kids will be encouraged to grow, gather and guide: grow in their appreciation for the natural world around them, gather pictures and memories of Pikmin in the Zoo, and guide their friends and family through exciting themed locations throughout Wildlife Explorers Basecamp. Pikmin are loyal, curious creatures that can help guide your expedition around Wildlife Explorers Basecamp. Here are some ways to make the most of your visit: • Consider visiting in October. The San Diego Zoo celebrates Kids Free Month from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31 by offering children 11 and under free admission with a paid adult ticket. • Guests visiting any weekend from Oct. 1 through Nov. 24 are encouraged to visit the Pikmin pop-up tent near Spineless Marvels to check in at the My Nintendo kiosk and receive 100 My Nintendo Platinum Points*, redeemable on my.nintendo.com for exclusive digital and physical rewards.

Low VOC is an exhibition of prototypes created by artists and designers from the San Diego and Tijuana regions made primarily with engineered wood composite panels referred to as Naturally Bonded Boards (NB boards). NB boards are non-toxic, biodegradable, and recyclable, made from sawdust and post-industrial/ post-consumer and recycled fibers without added formaldehyde. These boards were developed during a collaborative effort between Research Mechanical Engineer John F. Hunt (now retired), of the USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory and artist/designer Christine Lee. Between 2010 and 2014, a variety of NB boards was created through multiple rounds of board forming were made. Curator Christine Lee invited other artists/designers to experiment with not only how they could apply end-user applications to this material, but also to consider how the types of adhesives and finishes that would be applied could have a positive or negative impact.
