“Guests to the park can get into the holiday spirit and enjoy the magic of Wild Wonderland at Bearizona, a family-friendly event which allows visitors to stroll the Fort Bearizona area of the park at night, past normal operating hours. Lights and sounds of the season will be all around while guests can see lights in the pine trees synchronized to traditional Christmas tunes, and Mrs. Claus makes an appearance for a nightly story time at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the gift shop, stopping for a photo op afterward. The park features more activities than ever this year, with a craft area and some of their sturdier animals available for viewing as they open their presents early. Program animals also show up in the gift shop for a meet from 5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m. Guests can purchase Christmas goodies and warm up with seasonal beverages at the snack bar and in the foyer of the gift shop, and even can make s’mores at the outdoor fire pit.
