SANTA CLAUS MAKES A SPECIAL VISIT TO THE OKC ZOO

WHAT: Santa Claus visits the animals and you at the Oklahoma City Zoo!

WHEN: Monday, December 14

TIME: 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.

COST: Admission and activities are free for everyone!

DETAILS: Santa Claus will be making a special stop at the Zoo to visit his animal friends and you, too! With help from his “zoo elves,” he will spread holiday cheer to some lucky residents at the Zoo. His “sled” will be full of treats for the red pandas, meerkats, African-crested porcupines and giant anteater. Guests are encouraged to meet Santa and his elves at the red panda exhibit located along the Zoo’s lakeside by 10 a.m. After delivering his presents, Santa will be stopping by the Canopy Food Court to enjoy hot chocolate, doughnuts courtesy of Krispy Kreme and photos with everyone–so remember your camera!  All Santa Delivers activities are FREE.

In December, admission to the Zoo is FREE on Mondays!  Located in Oklahoma City’s Adventure District at the crossroads of I-35 and I-44, the Zoo is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the exception of Christmas and New Year’s Day.  Call (405) 424-3344 or visit okczoo.com for additional information about the Zoo.
