Got out-of-town guests, or kids, to entertain in the days immediately following Christmas?  Why not take them on a trip to the Zoo!

The Woodland Park Zoo is open every day, and this mild winter weather makes a stroll around the grounds a perfect activity for the whole family.

On December 26, 27 & 28th follow a carefully scheduled wildlife trek as part of the Winter Celebration.  Watch the animals munch on special holiday-themed treats including wreaths of assorted fruits, evergreen trees with ornamental fruit, boughs and wrapped boxes.  Winter Celebration is part of the Zoo’s on-going enrichment program to promote natural animal behavior, keep them mentally stimulated and engage zoo visitors.
