FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Santa’s Safari presented by Kroger Tickets Now on Sale
Tickets to Santa’s Safari are now on sale
online at
www.louisvillezoo.org. The popular annual Holiday event is set for
December 10-11 and 17-18, 2011 at 10 a.m., 12 and 2 p.m.
This jolly party will transform the Zoo’s
Gheens Room in the Islands Pavilion into a festive holiday wonderland
and include a visit by Santa, his elves, Frosty the Snowman and more —
so be sure to bring a camera to capture some wonderful holiday memories.
A complimentary photo with Santa will be provided to each family.
Mrs. Claus will also make an appearance
delivering some tasty holiday refreshments for every guest including
milk (coffee, lemonade and water for adults) and cookies. Each child
will be invited to participate in activities including creating a
take-home holiday craft, sing-a-longs and more. Plus families can chill
out with the animals letting their Safari Passport guide them along a
discovery trail through the Zoo’s heated buildings for some special
animal insights and encounters. Safari Stations will provide guests with
the opportunity to have one-on-one interactions with Zoo educators with
biofacts and select Zoo outreach animals. The Safari tour will finish up
in the MetaZoo Education Center where the North Pole’s famous
storyteller Holly Day will read aloud a popular winter tale.
