The Woodland Park Zoo's Winter Celebration is back next month

Get ready for cuteness as The Woodland Park Zoo gears up for its annual Winter Celebration.

Watch the wildlife residents feast on fish and fruit-trimmed wreaths, evergreen trees with ornamental fruit, and treat-filled gift boxes.

The celebration is completely safe for the animals as it encourages their natural behavior. It also keeps the animals mentally and physically stimulated while simultaneously entertaining zoo visitors.

The event is free with zoo admission and takes place Saturday to Monday, December 14 t0 16th and December 21 to 23.

A portion of zoo admission and membership is dedicated to funding conservation programs in the wild. Cast your vote for favorite conservation project at the Quarters for Conservation kiosks located at each entrance.
