Hamilton Zoo the place to be for Christmas and family fun
this weekend!
Hamilton Zoo is making new
traditions this Christmas and invites Hamiltonians to join
them and their animal friends for Christmas at the Zoo this
Saturday from 11am to 3pm.
There will be free,
animal-themed face painting, a Christmas card crafting
station and the man of the season - Santa Claus - will be
making an appearance too. Visitors will also be treated to
performances by the Hamilton Community Gospel Choir, Talents
of the Pacific Academy and Street Dance Sessions.
Leave
the car at home and catch the Dinsdale #3 bus direct to the
Zoo entrance and adults will gain entry for the price of a
child - $12 (with a valid bus ticket). Standard entry fees
otherwise apply.
Visitor Destination Manager for Hamilton
City Council Lee-Ann Jordan says, “We’re all systems go
for a fantastic event this Saturday and would love to see
you there. It’ll be an action-packed day celebrating the
festive season.”
“While there won’t be an extra
charge for the festive activities we have planned, if you do
plan to pop along, a few gold coins would be appreciated.
We’re raising funds to gift Zoo passes to the Waikato
Women’s Refuge and will be matching funds raised on the
day, dollar for
dollar.

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti.
