Winter Zoo Camp
Holiday-break day camp for ages 3–12
The Santa Barbara Zoo's winter-break Zoo Camp for kids ages 3 to 12 runs in two weekly sessions, December 21–24 and December 28–31. Campers are grouped by age for themed programs with hands-on science activities, games, crafts, songs and skits, a guided Zoo tour, behind-the-scenes visits and up-close animal encounters such as a feeding or enrichment experience.
Full days run 9 am to 3 pm ($425 a week, $375 for Zoo members) and half days 9 am to noon ($375, or $325 for members). Check-in is to the right of the front gate from 9 to 9:20 am. Snacks aren't provided, so pack your own. Register on the Zoo's website.
