Christmas Celebration powered by Reliant at Abilene Zoo is the event of the season! With thousands of twinkling lights, appearances from Santa, Mrs. Claus and more, and a variety of activities for the whole family, Christmas Celebration is something you won't want to miss!

People will have the opportunity to decorate Christmas cookies as well as build toys in Santa's toy shop. There are a variety of themed lights across the entire zoo that have been strategically put up by the staff. Out on the water, they will have what's called a Dancing Tree, which is a light show in the shape of a tree that moves to specific Christmas music. 

See the new artists’ mural near the zoo entrance and sculptural elements in the zoo created by local artist Steve Neves!
