KNOXVILLE, Tenn.— Two of Santa’s reindeer have been visiting Knoxville Zoo throughout the holiday season, and they will be staying a little longer for guests to enjoy!  Guests will be able to enjoy the reindeer through February 1 at Knoxville Zoo. 

Don’t forget Penguin Discount Days at Knoxville Zoo means you can visit the reindeer and all of your other favorite animals for half-price!  Winter zoo hours are 10:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. every day.

Knoxville Zoo also invites guests for Storytime during Penguin Discount Days.  Storytime is offered each Wednesday and Friday in January and February at 10:30 a.m.  Stories will include old favorites and new tales, too!  Join us in the cozy log cabin for a special story and meet an animal friend.  This program is free with zoo admission.
