Joy at SF Zoo

As your kids are gearing up to open their holiday presents this season, visit the Zoo to see our animal residents enjoy their holiday-themed enrichment! This Saturday & Sunday, December 9 & 10, follow a full schedule of animal treat presentations and watch as they enjoy their special treats! Each day, at 11:30 a.m., see animals up close and personal during a fun Wildlife Theater presentation. On Sunday, the first 10 families to line up at the Family Farm can help staff decorate Christmas trees to give to our barnyard animals starting at 10:45 a.m.

The schedule is below and there will be signage at the Gatehouse and outside café. (The locations are there for signage purposes.)
