Christmas ZOObilee 2025

A Gulf Coast holiday tradition continues as the Gulf Breeze Zoo hosts its 7th Annual Christmas ZOObilee. Guests of all ages are invited to celebrate the season with festive activities, live entertainment and holiday-themed fun throughout the park. Christmas ZOObilee features a winter-themed bounce station, face painting, live music and special character appearances. The popular Candy Cane Market Trail returns, offering one-of-a-kind gifts from local artists alongside the sights, scents and tastes of the season. “Christmas Zoobilee has become a beloved tradition for families across the Gulf Coast,” said Guest Services Manager Katelyn Peters. “We’re thrilled to welcome guests back this year for another season of magical memories, from visiting Santa and capturing the perfect holiday photos to getting in the holiday spirit with some of your favorite animals.” Santa and his elf will be on-site from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each event day, ready to greet children, collect wish lists, and pose for keepsake photos in Santa’s sleigh. Keep an eye out for other special character appearances throughout the day. From 11 a. m. to 3 p.m., enjoy festive entertainment including face painting, caricature art and live music.
