The Parc zoologique de Paris (Paris Zoo) has special events oranised fro the Christmas holidays, including presents for the animals, Father Xmas’ workshop and lots of surprises!

Here’s all the info.

The Paris Zoo is making the most of Christmas and offering some rather out-of-the-ordinary events!

Every day from 23rd-31st December, from 10am-5pm, you can:

– prepare the gifts for the animals while discovering their special diets, then watch as the zoo attendants give the food/gifts.

– take part in Father Xmas’ animal-themed KAPLA workshop.

– try to win prizes on the zoo’s Instagram page. You’ll have to be subscribed to their page, tag two friends and (correctly) answer the question of the day. #whatapalava

– and perhaps you’ll even bump into Father Christmas himself!

There are also special feedings you can watch: the baboons on Mondays and Saturdays at 2.45pm, the penguins every day at midday and the seals every day at 12.30pm.
