The 12 Days of Christmas

We're not asking for golden rings, partridges or pear trees. But our Zoo residents do need various enrichment items, and you can help.

Over 12 days in December (2-4, 9-11, 16-21), we will feature a specific animal each day. Anybody who donates an item for that animal receives one free admission to the Zoo to watch the animal receive its item (or admission on another day). Gift giving time will be 2 p.m. each day. We'll also serve up hot chocolate during the event Dec. 3, Dec. 10 and Dec. 16-21.

Check out our dedicated page for information on featured animals and suggested donations. We have a wishlist for each category of animals, but we'll also accept gift cards and Paypal donations.

Holiday closures

Spring River Zoo will be closed Nov. 24 for Thanksgiving, Dec. 24-25 for the Christmas holiday and Jan. 1 for New Years Day.
