*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 12/31/2016
Get in the spirit of the Christmas season and enjoy the magic of Bearizona at night during Wild Wonderland. This family friendly event allows visitors to enter the park after normal operating hours and takes place in the Fort Bearizona walk through portion of the park only. Guests will enjoy the lights and sounds of the season while strolling through the beautifully lit pine trees that are synchronized to traditional Christmas music. This festive light show occurs every half hour. Mrs. Claus makes a special visit nightly for Storytime at 6:00 p.m. and again at 7:00 p.m. in the Gift Shop. After Storytime, kids of all ages can take a photo with Mrs. Claus. Want to see some of the animals at night? Several of the park’s sturdier critters will stay up late to enjoy the cooler nights and will even get the chance to open their Christmas presents early! Bearizona’s program animals are eager to participate in the season’s festivities as well, and will be out for all to meet from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. in the Gift Shop. Guests can purchase delicious Christmas goodies, and warm themselves up with seasonal beverages at the snack bar or in the foyer of the Gift Shop. Stay warm by the outdoor fire pit and purchase s’mores to roast and toast to your delight.
