Due to snowy conditions, the zoo will be closed on Thursday, December 7, 2023 for visitor safety. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow when we reopen at 10am!
Join us at the zoo in December for our Cookies & Cocoa with Mrs. Claus event where your family will delight in the season, get to feed Rudolf’s friends (our goats and sheep), and enjoy fresh cookies and hot chocolate, while experiencing the winter wonderland of the zoo. Of course, this event would not be complete without Mrs. Claus herself who will be stationed in our lovely Wolf Woods cabin, ready for the perfect holiday photo to cherish the memories of your family for years to come. Choose from one of four event dates: December 9, 10, 16, or 17, starting at 10am and running until 12pm.
