The LA Zoo introduces a “new breed” of holiday fun. Winter Wild Weekends feature eco workshops and kids’ craft activities, live music, snow flurries twice daily, treats for select animals, and, of course, photos with Santa (for an additional fee).

Looking for holiday gifts? the Zoo partners with  the creative minds at Odd Market for a wildly unique holiday gift and sustainability fair. Local crafters offer hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind items available for purchase.

All activities except Santa photos are free with paid admission.
