CELEBRATE THE MAGIC OF
CHRISTMAS AT LONDON ZOO
Elves are descending on London Zoo
this Christmas, as London’s wildest
attraction prepares to celebrate The Magic
of Christmas. Until 4 January, the worldfamous conservation zoo will be
transformed into a winter wonderland,
where children and their families can find
Santa’s hidden elves, enjoy a special elf
Storytime and look out for surprise
appearances from Santa himself.
London Zoo’s youngest visitors have
an important mission to complete on
their visit, tracking Santa’s elves. On the
Wild Elf Chase, they’ll search for five
mischievous elves and help get them
back to the workshop.
A team of elves will be leading
Christmas storytime sessions
throughout the day, reciting yuletide
classics as well as their own festive
fables, and visitors can also enjoy a
packed schedule of Christmas-inspired
animal talks, including It’s Beginning to
Look a L-Otter Like Christmas and
Komodo-ho-ho.
A giant advent calendar will take pride
of place in the Zoo, and visitors who
enter the daily prize draw will be in with
the chance of winning a wild gift, in a
fun-filled grand reveal ceremony
orchestrated by two naughty elves.
Those looking to make the Magic of
Christmas last even longer, can upgrade
to enjoy a Christmas sleepover at the
London Zoo Lodges. Between 19 and 30
December, lodge guests will enjoy talks
from animal experts, and help them to
make festive treats for the animals. The
sleepover includes an exclusive nighttime tour of the Zoo, before returning to
the Lodges for toasted marshmallows
around the campfire, wintry treats and
special gifts for children.
Tickets for The Magic of Christmas at
London Zoo are included with zoo entry.
As part of global conservation charity
ZSL, every festive visit to London Zoo
supports ZSL’s science and conservation
work to protect and restore wildlife
around the world.
