The zoo announced that the two elephant calves will officially be viewable to the public from 9 am to 3 pm starting on Friday, September 13.
The elephant calves will make their debut on the savanna Thursday afternoon.
Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer had the opportunity to see the calves up close before their public debut.
Zoo officials say that you should be prepared for larger crowds. They added that the best viewing areas are from the Kopje Lodge and down Tembo Trail.
This year, the zoo celebrated baby elephants being born at their facility for the first time ever. The mothers gave birth just weeks apart.
