Looking for a roaring good time for the holidays? The San Diego Zoo’s yuletide festivities are back with the return of its Jungle Bells celebration.
The near-monthlong event boasts decorative lights that line the paths of the zoo, adorable meet-and-greet characters designed after the zoo’s residents and in-season treats for the occasion. Among the various seasonal additions to the park comes its immersive presentation, Aurora, which is a 3D projection of the Northern Lights paired with music and a performance.
Holidays
Kids are offered various features to make their holidays special at the zoo, such as a visit to Santa’s Factory, a dusting of snow to give the feel of a white Christmas and reindeer games to keep them entertained.
