As daylight fades and the wild comes alive, Wild Wonders transforms into a realm of twilight mystery and nocturnal excitement. Join us for the final three weekends of October as costumes, flashlights, and Halloween thrills take center stage in an unforgettable after dark adventure featuring the nocturnal exotic animals on our 5-acre wildlife refuge. Venture into the night and ask yourself: which pair of glowing eyes is watching from the shadows? What mysterious call echoes through the canopy? Perhaps it’s the legendary Banshee of Borneo… or just an owl announcing its presence. Maybe those soft rustles belong to the Ghosts of the Amazon. This is no ordinary haunted attraction — it’s an immersive, after dark wildlife experience. Our annual Halloween tours offer a “treat” for guests of all ages, including: • Candy stations with individually wrapped goodies • Warm apple cider to sip under the stars • Flashlights to guide your way through the unknown • Fun photo ops with an animal in this year's NEW "Bone Throne" Each tour is limited to just 20 brave souls, so secure your spot before they vanish into the night. Costumes encouraged, curiosity required. Boo! Is offered at 6:00 on October 17, 24, 25, and 30. Prices for this one-hour, after dark event are $45 for adults (12+) and $25 for children under 12. Tickets and more information can be found at wildwonders.org

First, an interview with the investigative journalist who unveiled that Balboa Park needs roughly $1 billion in repairs. Also, San Diego Unified has some safety rules in place to help keep kids cool and safe. Then, SDG&E is getting input on a new transmission line. And, the federal government announced cuts for California and others that rely on water coming from the Colorado River.

Book clubs can start with a book, but they often become about the people those stories bring together. Three San Diego book club organizers share what keeps their groups going, from lasting friendships and shared traditions to unexpected connections that happen when people read together.

The muralists hope their work offers lessons from past generations and revives the arts in the area.

Join us for a fundraising event to benefit the Tijuana Estuary Foundation, the nonprofit partner to the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve. At the southwestern edge of the United States, where the Tijuana River meets the Pacific Ocean, lies one of Southern California's last remaining coastal wetlands. Here, more than 2,000 acres of salt marshes, sand dunes, coastal habitats, and open space provide a remarkable refuge for wildlife-and for people seeking a deeper connection with the natural world. Tonight we celebrate the people who have devoted their lives to protecting one of California’s greatest natural treasures, and we invite you to become part of that story.
