It’s already the most wonderful time of the year, but Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden is making it even better with the return of one of its most popular traditions. If you’re looking for a fun and festive event, look no further than Breakfast With Santa!

A Festive Morning at the Zoo the Whole Family Will Love

Breakfast with the big guy is happening on December 6th, 7th, and 13th (that one’s already sold out!), plus a special Sensory Breakfast with Santa on December 14th designed to be an inclusive and comfortable experience for all families.

A Delicious Hot Breakfast With Santa Awaits

Your holiday adventure begins as soon as you enter the zoo. You’ll hop aboard the zoo’s tram for a quick trip  to the “North Pole.” Once you arrive, your mouth is sure to start watering at the sight of this year's continental breakfast. Adults can warm up with a fresh cup of coffee while the kiddos sip on milk or juice. And if someone in your crew has dietary restrictions, you are more than welcome to bring food that fits your needs.
