Christmas with the Critters 2025
December 18 - December 23
Celebrate the season in a truly wild way! Join the Cameron Park Zoo Education Team during Wild Lights for Christmas with the Critters — a hands-on experience that’s both fun and meaningful.
Learn about animal enrichment—what it is, why it’s important, and how it helps our zoo animals stay active and engaged. Guests will get the chance to create a special “gift” of enrichment for our animal ambassadors or other zoo residents, enjoy hot cocoa and cookies, admission to Wild Lights, and take home a unique commemorative ornament to remember this heartwarming experience.
Tickets: $35 for Adults $25 for children 3-13 years old. Each adult ticket includes a ceramic animal painting ornament
Come share the spirit of giving and make this holiday season unforgettable—for you and the animals!
