Joy at SF Zoo
One of our favorite times of year is the holiday season. Mark your calendars for Saturday and Sunday, December 14 & 15 to see our animals receive their holiday treats. See animals, from our gorillas to giraffes, receive their holiday treats from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day!
Seasonal treats may include Christmas trees, frozen ice and special food items.
