The Charles Paddock Zoo is pleased to announce Holiday Magic this Saturday, December 21st from 10 am until 1 pm! The zookeepers will present gifts for the animals and Santa will be on-site to welcome our visitors!

Our scheduled gift delivery for the animals begins at 10 am and goes until 1 pm! It’s fun to watch the animals tear into their gifts from the meerkats to the Tiger to the monkeys. Enjoy holiday music and magic by Andy Morris! In addition, we are excited to welcome Central Coast Garden Railroad Society with their model railroad display. The Zoo is dressed up with holiday decorations, so a perfect reason to come celebrate the season with us.
