Winter at the Zoo is a magical experience! Bundle up and enjoy the mountain views with a cup of steaming hot cocoa in hand. Many animals are extra active on snowy days, while others have cozy indoor habitats. Almost all of the animals are visible to guests, even on the coldest days!
When you’re ready to warm up, head indoors for giraffe and budgie feedings, a visit with our hippos, great apes, sloths, skunks and more, or grab a snack in one of the eateries around the Zoo. Don’t miss the daily animal demonstrations schedule. Keeper talks and demonstrations are great ways to see animals up-close and learn a thing or two about them from our knowledgeable staff.
Visiting in the winter means you can experience the entire Zoo with fewer crowds and save some money while you’re at it! Take advantage of Value Days at the Zoo, happening now through February, and save $5 on daytime admission. Tickets are available at cmzoo.org.
