    During the summer months the San Diego Zoo is opened for night time touring. The gates actually close at 9 pm, but you can stay until 10 pm. (The rest of the year the gates close at 4pm and you can stay until 5 or 6pm.) Summer Nights at the Zoo offer a few extras that add even more fun to the zoo experience. There are many nocturnal animals at the zoo and during a night time visit, those animals are out, interacting in a way never seen during the day. It's quite revealing to see some of these animals in action and sometimes even exciting. As a frequent visitor I can say that this aspect changes the ambiance enough to be impressive. Several skits are put on throughout the zoo as well as a very funny intereactive comedy, "Going Ape!" Hoola Hoop contests engage kids and adults alike and one of the most interesting offerings are the living statues. This particular statue, pictured here, standing in a fountain, moved to lovely music and surprised many who weren't aware she was alive.

    To spend time in the Nighttime Zoo, be sure to wear good walking shoes and bring a sweater or jacket as the evenings can get much cooler than it is during the day.

  • This room, ethereal and dimly lit with a number of candles, gets pretty lively as the night wears on. Depending on the night, you'll hear anything from subtle techno to house/rap, and even some funky mixes with an instrumental accompaniment. It's a cozy room, and you're well taken care of by the bartender and wait staff.

    I don't think so, but you better call to be sure.

  • Not be confused with downtown San Diego, its actually downtown La Jolla about 15mins away. It’s very Upscale, European, and a fairly young crowd. La Jolla it self is one of the wealthiest areas in San Diego, if you’re into upscale scene and beautiful surroundings’ this is your place, I usually go here on Thursdays, it’s a good place.

    Nice, European style

    belo next door to confidential and red circle, this is the place you want to be very large club, very nice inside, offering two rooms for dancing, one mixin hip hop, the other mixin house, cover is $20 drinks are pretty pricey here, for example cranberry vodka $9. If you’re looking for a good time, this a good place, I recommend it.

  • The Velvet This place is for only a select group of people. If you like Dive bars, cheap beer, and fast&loud music, this is the place to go. Local Punk during the week and National Punk Bands on Fri./Sat.

    yeah right

  • In La Jolla, there isn’t really an existing nightlife. There are a few bars, but La Jolla is fairly quiet at night. Perhaps downtown San Diego is a better option.
