You are invited to the 6th Annual Christmas ZOObilee at the Gulf Breeze Zoo this weekend!
Christmas ZOObilee includes winter-themed bounce stations, live music and entertainment, and a Candy Cane Market full of gifts, sights, smells and tastes of the season, including unique gifts from local artists and delicious holiday treats.
This event is fun for the entire family! Christmas ZOObilee wouldn’t be complete without a visit from the jolly man in a red suit. A weekend with Santa is the perfect opportunity to hand-deliver last-minute Christmas letters while snapping a treasured photo with Saint Nick in his sleigh.
The Grinch will be in attendance also for photos. All event activities are included with regular daytime admission.
