Saturday, December 5 | 10 am – 3 pm
Sip a cup of hot chocolate with decadent mix-ins or snack on popcorn and other snacks as you stroll through a festive holiday market filled with goods from local vendors that are sure to make great gifts. Don’t miss a cute holiday photo op to share with family and friends. And, in the holiday spirit, we’ll have a giving tree for our beloved animal ambassadors. Please consider making a gift of hay for Clover, crickets for Blaze, bananas for Buttercup, or something special for any of our other hard-working animal friends!
Kids can make a winter nature craft, enjoy up close animal encounters, or participate in our Gingerbread Habitats Event (advance registration required) while you’re here.
Admission to the Holiday Market is FREE
This is a rain or shine event. Plan to come and be merry whatever the weather!
