It's time to say goodbye to Tian Tian, Mei Xiang, and Xiao Qi Ji as they prepare to return to China. The Smithsonian's National Zoo hosts Panda Palooza, a nine-day celebration, to engage guests of all ages in a series of fun, family-friendly, and conservation-forward events. Panda Palooza includes photo backdrops, arts and crafts, a Kids Area with a soft-play section, family stretching and yoga, panda talks, temporary tattoos, a conservation-themed scavenger hunt, live music, and free film screenings of Kung Fu Panda and The Miracle Cub. 

In addition, the zoo's food and beverage vendors are offering panda-themed items, and the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China is providing tasty celebratory treats.
