SEASON TEASER
Dear Santa Claws, Please... transforms the Zoo's nighttime holiday experience from a collection of illuminated displays into a magical journey of animal wishes, wonder, kindness, enrichment, and care.
Animals from throughout the Zoo have written letters to Santa Claws’, sharing their wishes - not for conventional presents, but for the things that bring genuine joy and well-being to their lives: opportunities to climb, chase, forage, explore, investigate, solve, tear apart, play, and discover.
Guests enter the story as Holiday Helpers, following those wishes through the Zoo and ultimately discovering that their own participation helps make animal joy possible.
New Zomes include:
· Post Office
· Primates/Monkey Tree
· Big Cats/Retheming
· Field of Wishes
· Storytelling Light Boxes
