Join Zoo Boise for Claus ‘N’ Paws, a FREE admission day on Saturday, December 3 from 10am – 5pm (last admission at 4:30pm). This is our way to thank our community for supporting the zoo and our wildlife conservation mission.

Santa Claus will visit the zoo for photo opportunities (for a small donation which benefits zoo programs). There will also be holiday crafts, face painting, and don’t miss the animal residents receiving their holiday gifts. Santa will be at the zoo for photos from 11am – 4pm.

As much as we love pets, no pets are allowed inside the zoo except for ADA service animals. Companion animals are not allowed.
