Christmas, is of course, his busiest time of year – so Santa will only be available at the zoo on December 11th & 12th and December 18th & 19th! Registration begins at 9am on Wednesday, November 3rd.

Santa's a popular guy – particularly at this time of the year; but he's taking the time to sit down for a meal with some local kids at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium for two weekends in December! Kids will have the chance to enjoy some great food with the big guy, decorate their own Christmas cookie, make a holiday craft – and even meet some of Santa's favorite zoo animals! Seats are limited, so pre-registration (which begins November 3rd) is a must!

Radio Disney will provide live entertainment for all the party animals leading up to the noon ball drop!
