Editor's note: Winter Wildland is cancelled on Thursday, December 26 for storm damage cleanup and will reopen to the public Friday, December 27.
Animals, decorations, winter magic. Included with admission and membership.
Breathe in the crisp mountain air and watch in delight as our animals play with holiday-themed treats and enrichments. Stroll paths laced with winter magic and decorations. Keeper chats at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
The animals will receive a wide variety of enrichment: cardboard gingerbread houses, paper chains, and even Christmas trees. All the enrichments are thoughtfully crafted by staff, are holiday-themed, and filled with meatballs, veggies, chopped fruit or other yummy items to attract skunks, lynxes, beavers and others to explore and investigate.
Take a Free-Roaming Area tour through the hushed winter stillness to spot elk, mountain goats and bison keeping warm — and giant snowflakes! Sip hot chocolate, burn off some energy at our Kids' Trek nature-inspired playground and shop for unique holiday gifts in our gift shop.
