🦃🥗 Thanksgiving is all about good food- even if you skip the turkey.
Our iguana friend here says greens > gobbles, and honestly… we support her life choices.
Wishing you a plate full of favorites, a cozy holiday, and a zero-guilt second helping. 😆
Happy Thanksgiving from Zootah!

📍 Reminder: We are closed this weekend, but we can’t wait to see everyone for Zoo Lights opening next Thursday!

💡 And trust us - you do not want to miss Friday.
The Grinch himself will be here…
and he’s ready for selfies, smirks, and holiday mischief.

Toys for Tots needs your help.
Zootah is collecting toys—especially for ages 0–2, which are currently in very short supply.

Tomorrow from 11–4, you can stop by Zootah and choose one of the train tags from our Toys for Tots tree. Purchase the gift written on the tag and return it to Zootah so it can be delivered to local families in need.

Meika, our female Eclectus parrot, says thank you in advance for supporting this important cause.

You can also pick up a train tag during Zoo Lights beginning December 4th.
We hope to have all toys returned by December 20th.

Please visit our website for current hours.

New to the Zoo

We’re excited to welcome several new faces to the Wildlife Learning Center just in time for Zoo Lights. These animals will be part of our educational programming and will be on display throughout the season.

Meet Feta and Gouda, our striking Standard domestic rats, along with Fettuccine and Rigatoni, our energetic ferrets. We’ve also welcomed Linda and Karen, our charming new guinea pigs. Each of these animals gives guests a closer look into the world of small mammals and the unique behaviors and adaptations that make their species special.

Stop by the WLC during Zoo Lights to see them in person and learn more about the fascinating lives of these tiny creatures.

✨ St. Martin’s Day is traditionally celebrated between November 10–14, and we were proud to join in with our own lantern parade at Zootah.

St. Martin’s Day is a centuries-old European tradition honoring St. Martin of Tours, known for his kindness and compassion. Children carry handmade lanterns to symbolize sharing light, helping others, and bringing warmth into the colder months.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made this celebration so special.
Stay tuned so you can join in on the fun with us again next year! ✨

✨ This weekend, we’re invited to share light and kindness together at Zootah’s magical lantern parade in celebration of St. Martin’s Day. 🌙 Bring a new, unopened toy as your donation and when you drop it off between 6–8 PM, your whole group enjoys half-price admission.

Come early, light your lantern (or borrow one if you’d like), wander with glowing steps among the zoo’s gentle giants and crisp evening air, and feel the joy of giving back. Because when we show up together — toys in hand, lanterns in tow — we make more than memories: we make community.
