Holiday Fest
December 2, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
‘Tis the season to celebrate with Santa, Mrs. Claus, and all the “Monkeys on the Mantle” at the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park! Join us for Holiday Fest on Saturday, December 2nd from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This event is free with regular zoo admission.
Play our holiday BINGO game to find the mischievous Monkey Elves hiding all around the Zoo. Kids can claim a prize for playing at the Prize Table in the zoo’s Visitor Center before leaving the zoo. Guests can also find Santa and Mrs. Claus in the Mayan Restaurant from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Drop off your letters to Santa or tell him your wish list in person – either way, he ho-ho-hopes you’ll sit with him for a photo!
Several other winter-themed activities, like games and crafts, will be available throughout the event. A few special animal friends will also make appearances, so be sure to stop by the Education & Conservation Center building to see which critters are out and about. Face painting will also be available, and as an extra sweet treat, all kids will receive a bag of candy when stopping by to see Santa in the Mayan Restaurant.
