Get ready to spread some holiday cheer! On Saturday, December 13, A Buddy the Elf look-alike will be making special appearances around the Zoo from 1 to 4 PM.
Keep your eyes peeled—he might be exploring the habitats, greeting guests, and sharing his favorite festive tips (like the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup!)
Can’t catch him during the day? Don’t worry! Buddy will also be lighting up the night at GloWild from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM. It’s the perfect chance to snap a photo, share a laugh, and enjoy the dazzling holiday lights.
Come join us for a day (and night!) full of fun, laughter, and holiday magic at the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium!
