Pikmin Come to San Diego Zoo

Nintendo announced a Pikmin series crossover with the San Diego Zoo will take place in October and November 2024. Things kick off on October 1, 2024. As part of the promotion, the Denny Sanford Wildlife Explorers Basecamp will feature the characters from the game around the location. 

There are no photos showing what people should look for when taking part in the Pikmin San Diego Zoo event. Nintendo only noted that the characters will be hidden at that part of the park. People who show up and hunt will have a chance to earn related items, however.

How it works is people who attend the San Diego Zoo will be able to check in with Nintendo. On all weekends between October 1, 2024 and November 30, 2024, there will be a Pikmin Pop-Up Tent. You can get tasks to earn a goodie bag there. It is also possible to check in for 100 My Nintendo Platinum Points. Note that the tent is only going to be there on weekends, so the first day that appears is October 5, 2024, and the last one is November 24, 2024. 

There are two recent Pikmin games available. One is Pikmin Bloom, which is available on mobile devices. The latest console entry is Pikmin 4, which you can find on the Nintendo Switch. 

It isn’t uncommon for these sorts of events to happen, in general. For example, Nintendo held ones for Animal Crossing at aquariums.

The San Diego Zoo is at 2920 Zoo Drive in San Diego, California. The Pikmin event will run October 1, 2024 through November 30, 2024. This runs at the same time as the Kids Free Month at the park, which ends October 31, 2024.
