A Great Family Adventure Awaits This Holiday Season For Animal Lovers In MN

So many of us think about going to the Zoo in the spring and summer, and when fall rolls around, we get busy with going back to school, and in the winter we tend to think that the zoo isn't open for business. The Minnesota Zoo is open and they are inviting you to continue to visit throughout the winter months.
