There’s no place like Blank Park Zoo for the holidays! Join us for a special day with Santa, while enjoying face painting, and fun holiday crafts. Be sure to walk around the zoo to see all the gifts Santa’s elves have made for the animals this year!

Activities include:

  • Visit with Santa
  • Create holiday crafts
  • Write letters to Santa to send to the North Pole
  • Face Painting

Don’t miss the animals “opening presents” and enjoying holiday treats throughout the day.

Weather permitting, the winter animals such as the Japanese macaques, sea lions, harbor seals and tigers will be on exhibit. Guests will also be able to see the rhinos and tortoise in their indoor exhibits, as well as all of the animals inside the Discovery Center.

Santa at the Zoo is free with the price of regular Zoo admission and free for members. Santa will be waiting for guests inside the Holmes Foster Event Center.
