LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Louisville Zoo will soon transform into a winter wonderland for guests to explore just in time for the holiday season!
Celebrate the festive season with the zoo's polar bear, Qannik, and her animal friends during "Qannik's Beary Happy Holiday".
There will be special holiday-themed activities during the first three weekends of December and guests can visit the zoo's gift shop to write letters to Santa at the north pole from December 1-17.
Officials said guests can enjoy a month-long scavenger hunt for all ages by scanning the QR code when they arrive at the zoo.
