Santa at the Zoo

Santa will be making a pit stop at your Great Plains Zoo to drop off presents for the animals and he set aside some time to meet you! Book your time slot now to visit Santa! Parents, we highly encourage you to bring your cameras to capture these memories. Kids can also drop off their letters to Santa!

Once you've had your time with Santa, don't forget to explore the rest of your GPZoo and watch the animals enjoying their Christmas gifts! 

December 4, 2020 - 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

*We highly encourage all guests to wear masks when indoors or in close contact with anyone outside of their household. The line to see Santa will be socially distanced. Santa will be wearing a face shield, and we will have all kids sit in front of Santa for photos to allow some social distancing. Tickets include Zoo admission.

  • Love this zoo! Great place to get a walk in and the animals are everywhere! The museum/indoor part is very educational too. Has a lot of shade for when it's hot out. Very clean. Friendly staff.

  • The museum gives you a break from the sun on hot summer days and has a great selection of animal exhibits from around the world.  The zoo keeps growing and adding new animal habitats or improving existing ones.  Membership offers reciprocal benefits to other zoos around the country.
