Families are invited to enjoy an unforgettable winter experience and step into an all-new Alpine Adventure at Twycross Zoo this December.
Promising festive fun for all the family, from Saturday 17 December – Tuesday 3 January, visitors to the Zoo will be transported to the snowy peaks of the Himalayan mountains, the wild habitat of the snow leopard.
Snow-flocked trees and festoon lighting will immerse guests in a winter experience, where they will have the chance to visit the Zoo’s award-winning snow leopard habitat for a chance to see these incredible creatures up close.
As they explore the Zoo’s amazing animal kingdom, guests can enjoy a host of festive activities and entertainment guaranteed to get everyone in the holiday spirit. Brand-new for 2022, families can get their skates on at the Zoo’s first-ever ice skating rink. Take a spin on the ice and then warm up at Après Zoo, an alpine-style hut serving mulled wine, hot chocolate and tasty festive-themed snacks.
The Zoo’s View restaurant will also be transformed into a cosy Alpine Lodge, offering guests a variety of delicious lunch options with a festive twist, including tasty Pigs in Blanket pizza. From Tuesday 20 – Saturday 24 December, visitors will also have the chance to capture the all-important Santa Selfie, with Santa stopping by for a special meet and greet before he parks his sleigh for photos at the Zoo’s Snowy Peaks – and there might even be a festive sing-along!
For families wanting a festive memento from the day, they can strike a pose in the Zoo’s cable car photo booth, for take-away snaps that everyone can enjoy. And for young budding conservationists, visitors can stop off at the Icy Outpost for a spot of ice fishing, an experiential education station that teaches children about Snow leopards, in the wild; what makes them unique and how we can learn to protect them.
As well as enjoying the Alpine Adventure, families can discover more than 400 animals from over 80 different species in Twycross Zoo’s amazing animal kingdom. Visitors can come face-to-face with some of the world’s most endangered species – including rhinos and bonobos – and learn more about the Zoo’s ongoing conservation efforts to protect and preserve them.
With so much more on offer, including the chance to explore The Gruffalo Discovery Land and embark on a journey through the deep dark wood, Twycross Zoo is the perfect day out for families this Christmas.
