Winter WildLand Puts "Festive" into the Holidays!
Take in the thousands of holiday lights from the Mountaineer Sky Ride or experience their beauty firsthand while walking through the Zoo. You’ll be delighted by the Gingerbread Yurt, special lighting displays and treats that await you at the top at Santa’s Summit! Meet Mrs. Claus, write a letter to Santa or decorate cookies in the Gingerbread Yurt!

Make enrichment gifts for your favorite animals while mingling with Jack Frost near the Loft. Then accompany him as he delivers your gifts to the animals. (The times and locations of Jack Frost’s delivery schedule are posted throughout the Zoo). At each stop, he and a zookeeper will share a story about the animal receiving the gift. What a great opportunity to learn more about your favorite animals as you watch them tear into their presents! The Zoo will rotate which animals receive your treats so you’ll want to come often as the experience is different each night through this final week and weekend.
