Wild Wonderland at Bearizona Admission

This family friendly event allows visitors to enter the park after normal operating hours and takes place in the beautiful Fort Bearizona walk through area of the park. Guests will enjoy the lights and sounds of the season while strolling through the beautifully lit ponderosa pine trees that are synchronized to traditional Christmas music. This festive light show occurs every half hour from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, gates open at 5pm.

Mrs. Claus makes a special visit nightly, for storytime at 6pm and again at 7pm in her comfortable living room. After storytime, kids of all ages can take a photo with Mrs. Claus. Several of the park's 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 5:30pm to 7:30pm in the beautifully themed gift shop. 

Guests can purchase delicious Christmas goodies and warm themselves up with seasonal beverages at the spectacular Canyonlands restaurant or stay warm by the outdoor fire pit. They can even purchase s'mores to roast and toast while they enjoy the show. 

Please note: Admission to this event is a separate charge from regular park admission. Guests should plan to dress extra warm as many of the activities occur outdoors.
