    We have a wide variety of shows and live entertainment for kids and families throughout the year -- from singing and dancing with their favorite Sesame Street® friends at Sunny Days Celebration to learning about wolves and other predators in the wild in Howl to Coexist. Winter also brings heartwarming Christmas shows and music.

    As you enter the park and make your way toward France, there are many stops along the way to see our animals. Speak with our Zoological Team Members about our Clydesdale horses, read inspiring stories of our American bald eagles, learn about gray wolves in the wild or feed nectar to a lorikeet. Animal enthusiasts will love our up-close animal tours, too.
