Odense Zoo turns into a winter wonderland during the festive season, with more than a million Christmas lights spread across the garden. Paths and areas are decorated for the season, and visitors can wander among the animals while enjoying the glowing atmosphere.
Market stalls around the garden offer mulled wine, warm apple fritters and homemade roasted almonds, along with interior items, ceramics and other Christmas-themed gifts. Children can visit Santa Claus in his gift workshop, and the zoo's own elves, Zoofus and Zoofie, are part of the experience. The film Zoofus og Zoofie - Den Glemte Jul can also be seen during the event.
Part of the proceeds from selected activities and products goes towards protecting penguins in the wild, so a Christmas visit also supports conservation.
