Reindeer Romp, the Los Angeles Zoo’s beloved daytime holiday celebration, runs through Sunday, Jan. 6, giving Angelenos the opportunity to see real reindeer this season at the zoo’s Reindeer Village habitat.

While visiting the Reindeer Village on weekends, guests can learn more about the herd from expert reindeer keepers at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., as well as get creative at the craft station designing custom antlers.

Stop by Santa Claus’s North Pole outpost for photos on Dec. 15-16 and 22-23, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a variety of photo packages available for an additional fee.

The weekend festivities continue with the animals receiving presents at 11 a.m. While festive, these treats also serve an important role, promoting the physical and mental wellbeing of the animals.

Guests can also enjoy a special holiday edition of the zoo’s “World of Birds Show” daily, except Tuesdays, at noon and 2:30 p.m. through Jan. 6. Among the species spotlighted in this free-flight display of natural behaviors are Cape vultures, crowned cranes and blue-throated macaws.

All Reindeer Romp activities, except Santa photos, are free with paid zoo admission. Also included with paid zoo admission are daily close-up animal encounters, shows, holiday crafts, talks and guided experiences, training demonstrations, and more.

The Los Angeles Zoo is located at 5333 Zoo Drive. For information and tickets, visit lazoo.org/reindeerromp.
