Little ones will love the festive glasses\, too\, since their special lenses turn the lights into snowflakes!

Even better\, every visit helps support the Zoo’s mission to save species and protect habitats worldwide! \nTickets are required for ages 3 and older (kids 2 & under are free). Because of limited capacity\, tickets and parking passes often sell out\, so buy in advance and only through the Smithsonian’s National Zoo\, as third-party tickets may be voided.
