For its sixth year, the Los Angeles Zoo and Plaza de la Raza Cultural Center for the Arts & Education are hosting the ‘Beloved Pets Ofrenda’ in observance of National Hispanic Heritage Month and Día de los Muertos.

The Beloved Pets Ofrenda is designed to honor the memory of cherished animal companions that have passed away. All Zoo guests are welcome to print photos or draw pictures of their pets and place their images and mementos on the altar located at the Zoo’s Front Entrance Plaza near Sea Life Cliffs.

The ‘Beloved Pets Ofrenda’ is available each weekend through Monday, Nov. 2, from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., including Indigenous People’s Day (Oct. 12). Zoo staff will be on-site during these times to print and assist guests with their photos. Zoo visitors can also bring their own printed photos and place them on the ofrenda on weekdays during zoo operating hours.
