The Santa Ana Zoo’s “International Day with the Critters” will be held on Sunday, December 18th from 12 noon – 3pm, rain or shine. The annual event is included with the price of admission and FREE for Zoo members. Guests will take a “trip around the world” exploring and discovering international stations throughout the Zoo and getting their “passports” stamped. Each station will feature an animal from a different country around the world. Live entertainment, games, storytelling, and educational activities will take place throughout the day.
“International Day with the Critters is an engaging, high-energy event for family and friends who want to get together and learn about animals from all over the world,” says David Exline, FOSAZ Board President. “Add to the mix our trains, the carrousel and dueling playgrounds conveniently located next to The Knowlwood Café and our picnic tables and you’ve got the makings for a great day!”
Guests of International Day with the Critters will be among the first to experience the Zoo’s “Winter Zoobilation” decorations including a frosty theme, fairy lights and falling snow. Additional decorations including beautiful, original hand-crafted adornments that are perfect for pictures and depict many holiday favorites including Santa’s Workshop, Sweet Shop and Post Office cut outs of 3-dimensional wood and individually designed and painted by Friends of Santa Ana Zoo (FOSAZ) Board Member Rip Ribble, will be on display Dec. 1-31, 2016.
The Santa Ana Zoo is home to more than 260 animals, including 60 of the most interesting and engaging monkeys and several endangered species, like the golden lion tamarins.
