Festive family fun
Christmas at ZSL London Zoo from 2nd December
Sprinkle some much-needed magic over Christmas this year, by journeying through the animal kingdom to celebrate the season in the open air of ZSL London Zoo.
Look forward to dashing through the Zoo’s very own fairy-lit festive wonderland, where little ones can become elves-in-training, following a brand new self-guided trail to find out what their favourite animals want for Christmas.
Prepare to feast on festive food and wrap up warm to climb aboard the Zoo’s famous carousel, before sending letters to Santa at the Zoo’s express postbox – checked by the man himself every day as he visits the animals. Bring your letters and watch out for Santa popping up throughout the day to say hi!
Funds raised from Christmas visits will help international conservation charity ZSL (Zoological Society of London), which runs London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo, continue to care for the 20,000 residents at its two Zoos and protect threatened species around the world.
Book tickets online at www.zsl.org/magicofchristmas.Advanced booking will be necessary to ensure social distancing on site.
