VALDOSTA – Break out those ugly Christmas sweaters, dust off your holiday spirit, grab your family and join the official start of Wild Adventures Christmas this weekend.

Featuring twinkling lights, bright decorations, festive music and holiday themed shows, it is also the last chance to experience Dinosaur Explore and share Christmas with these prehistoric friends as they will be packing and moving after the holidays.

Wild Adventures Christmas officially begins Saturday December 10 and brings back guest favorites like, “CandyLand,” “Tinker the Talking Christmas Tree,” Frosted Fairy’s Winter Garden, the Living Nativity and the snow-foam play area.

Through December 23, children are invited to share their Christmas wishes with Safari Santa and enjoy story time with Mrs. Claus at the Giraffe and Elephant Overlook. Plus, step back in time and help the dinosaurs celebrate their first Christmas under the direction of Santa’s very own elves.

During the holiday event, Wild Adventures partners with Toys for Tots and is offering a Buy One Get One Free admission with the donation of a new, unwrapped toy valued at $10 or more to help bring joy to a child.

Wild Adventures is open select days December 10 through January 1, 2017 from noon to 7 p.m. The park will be closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Don’t forget that Season Passes make great stocking stuffers and the park is offering 2017 season passes at special holiday savings. Season Passes can be used right away for this year’s holiday fun and all of next season, including Ohana Bay.

Passholders who visit during Wild Adventures Christmas also get the most Bring-A-Friend tickets.
