Christmas at the Zoo
Christmas at the Zoo is a time to gather family and friends and create traditions and memories together. This year the garden will be even more beautiful with more Christmas lights and new decorations, so look forward to true Christmas spirit in unique surroundings as we light candles in the winter darkness and send you on a magical light walk through the Christmas decorated garden.
You can also explore the many small stalls where you can meet North Jutland producers presenting creative Christmas gift ideas and a wealth of delicious food and drinks for the Christmas table. Savour the local flavours and find the perfect gifts for your loved ones.
Of course, you can also meet the world's cutest Father Christmas, and when darkness falls, you can experience some of the animals in the garden in a completely different way. It's especially cosy to go inside the stables and houses and experience the calm evening atmosphere as the animals prepare for the night.
Christmas at the Zoo also offers plenty of entertainment.
