San Diego Zoo kicks off Jungle Bells festivities
By SDCN Editor
San Diego, CA–Familiar holiday traditions take on a wild twist at the San Diego Zoo with the return of Jungle Bells.
The zoo will be aglow with holiday cheer and decorations, festive music, roaming entertainers, special food items and sweets, and awe-inspiring views of wildlife.
Attendees can participate in reindeer games, a trek through Northern Frontier’s Holiday Forest, or visit Santa Claus and his helpers, zoo characters Dr. Harry Lion, Churchill Polar Bear, Sydney Koala, and all their friends.
The zoo’s restaurants, food stands, and shops will be open during the holiday festivities. A gift from San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance will support wildlife conservation around the world.
Guests won’t want to miss the nightly magic of Aurora, a twice-per-night spectacular that blends 3D projection mapping, music, and lights.
Jungle Bells will run until Jan. 1, 2024, with extended hours, except for Dec. 24 (when no Jungle Bells activities are scheduled).
The San Diego Zoo is located at 2920 Zoo Drive in San Diego.
Jungle Bells activities are free with zoo admission or membership. Parking is free.
