JUNGLE BELLS RING IN THE HOLIDAYS

San Diego Zoo guests are invited to celebrate the season with the return of Jungle Bells, supported by
California Coast Credit Union. The annual holiday event will treat guests to a wonderland of twinkling lights, live entertainment, festive music and views of awe-inspiring wildlife.

Join in Reindeer Games and trek through Northern Frontier’s Holiday Forest, or visit Santa or his friendly helpers, Zoo characters Dr. Harry Lion, Churchill Polar Bear, Sydney Koala and all their friends. Enjoy an abundance of culinary delights at the Zoo’s many restaurants and food stands, or shop for one-of-a-kind gifts for everyone on your holiday list at the Zoo’s numerous retail locations. 

Guests won’t want to miss the magic of Aurora, an immersive presentation weaving 3D projection mapping, music and lights into a spectacular performance. 

Jungle Bells is scheduled Dec. 9-Jan. 1, with the exception of Dec. 24 (when no Jungle Bells activities are scheduled). Visit sandiegozoo.org/junglebells.
