Gulf Breeze Zoo’s Christmas ZOObilee

A Gulf Coast holiday tradition continues as the Gulf Breeze Zoo hosts its 7th Annual Christmas ZOObilee on Dec. 6, 7, 13 and 14. Guests of all ages are invited to celebrate the season with festive activities, live entertainment and holiday-themed fun throughout the park.

Christmas ZOObilee features a winter-themed bounce station, face painting, live music and special character appearances. The popular Candy Cane Market Trail returns, offering one-of-a-kind gifts from local artists alongside the sights, scents and tastes of the season.

Santa and his elf will be on-site from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each event day, ready to greet children, collect wish lists, and pose for keepsake photos in Santa’s sleigh. Keep an eye out for other special character appearances throughout the day.

From 11 a. m. to 3 p.m., enjoy festive entertainment including face painting, caricature art and live music. Visit our website for the full schedule of events, featuring a chili cook-off hosted by the Navarre Rotary Club and special performances by local dance studio A Time to Dance.
