Santa’s Village
Santa’s Magic Cottage
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to step inside a glittering snow globe, then Santa’s Village under the Bicentennial Pavilion is the place to be. New this year, guests will have the opportunity to take a personal journey to the North Pole with Santa’s Magic Cottage Warmed by Peterman Brothers!
This one-of-a-kind experience fully immerses you in the holiday spirit. Mrs. Claus will invite you inside the home of Kris Kringle, and Santa’s elves will guide you through this experience. Families will meet Santa in his personal study, where kids can enjoy a personal visit, tell him their wishes and create long lasting memories with the perfect photo opportunity.
And as an added bonus, Santa’s Magic Cottage Warmed by Peterman Brothers will help beat the winter chill.
Santa will be welcoming visitors during Christmas at the Zoo starting at 5pm. Santa’s que line will close 1 hour before park closes.
Monday-Thursday until 5pm when Santa’s Village Opens: IMCU members who show their IMCU debit or credit card, or digital card on their phone, their group will advance to the FRONT OF THE LINE for Santa’s Magic Cottage Warmed by Peterman Brothers.
On two select nights, December 3 & 10, Christmas at the Zoo will be a low sensory experience with alterations to sound, smell and lighting.
