The {{w|San Diego Zoo}} is a zoo located in San Diego, California. Like any zoo, it is primarily an exhibit for a wide variety of animals, considered by many to be the best of its kind in the world.

A promotional event dubbed '''Pikmin × San Diego Zoo''' was announced and begun on {{date|1|October|2024}}. Similar to [[Super Nintendo World]]'s hidden [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] figures, five Pikmin statues can be found around the zoo's Wildlife Explorers Basecamp area from {{date|1|October}} to {{date|28|November}}. This tied into a similar promotion in October where tickets for children under 11 were free.

Guests were encouraged to visit the area's Pikmin pop-up tent near the Spineless Marvels section and check in at the [[My Nintendo]] kiosk and redeem 100 Platnium Points by scanning their My Nintendo QR Code, as well as a goodie bag (through {{date|24|November}}) if they show staff a photo of a hidden Pikmin.{{cite web|https://my.nintendo.com/news/0db8dab37cf72e75|Find Pikmin™ at the San Diego Zoo!|My Nintendo|published={{date|1|October|2024}}|retrieved={{date|3|October|2024}}}}

There are 5 statues, featuring the 5 main Pikmin types from {{p2}}.

The collaboration involved all Kura Revolving Sushi Bar locations in the United States, which gained special ''Pikmin''-themed decor, unique {{w|capsule toy}} prizes, and exclusive menu items.
