The ONLY place in Birmingham where there's snows and Santa every night!

December 15-23, 26-30 5-9 p.m.
Members: FREE Non-members: $7 (includes tax)


Enjoy a fabulous night of lights, fun and holiday spirit as the Birmingham Zoo comes alive for 14 nights! It’s the only place in Birmingham where it snows every night. Enjoy a synchronized light show set to all your favorite holiday tunes!

Santa & Mrs. Claus will be appearing nightly (until Dec. 23) after making a grand entrance in a beautiful horse drawn carriage. If you look closely, you may even see a very special elf in the mix! Be sure to stop at the Barn in the Children’s Zoo where holiday crafts, photographs and the animals are all available for your enjoyment. Ride the train to experience a winter wonderland (additional charge) and in between, enjoy half a million lights, holiday music and plenty of festive spirit.

Holiday with the Animals

December 16, 10 - 3 pm

Watch the animals unwrap enrichment gifts and, just like the kids, spend more time playing with the boxes! Zookeepers will be giving presents to the animals all day. Also, celebrate Babec the Gorilla and Kwanza the Lion's birthdays (both during December) on this festive day.
