Party at the Auckland Zoo

Turn off the television, roll up a rug and pack a picnic basket for an early Christmas dinner on the lawns at Auckland Zoo on December 21.

A gospel choir will entertain and encourage zoo visitors to join in singing Christmas favourites, while entertainers Suzy Cato, Bumble, Captain Ricardo and The Aunties will keep younger family members amused.

There is also the option of arriving early enough to explore the zoo and to see the animals before the "Wildly Good Christmas Party" begins.
