Celebrate the season and watch the animals enjoy their presents during this year’s Holidays with the Animals on Saturday, Dec. 20! Staff and volunteers have wrapped gifts, created enrichment, and gathered all the animals’ favorite treats for this annual tradition. Come to the Honolulu Zoo and join us as the animals dive in, demolish, and devour their holiday gifts and treats.

The Honolulu Zoo will open at 9 a.m. for this special event.  Gift distributions will begin shortly after the gates open at 9 a.m. and will occur every 15 minutes until 2 p.m. throughout the Zoo. Keiki and adults alike will be thrilled to see our giraffes, black rhino, elephants, lemurs, sloths, and more enjoying their holiday enrichment treats.

Keiki can take photos with Santa and visit with educators to learn about the wonders of wildlife from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Hale Imi ‘Ike.

The event is included with admission to the Honolulu Zoo.
