Pancakes Paws & Santa Claws

Pancakes Paws & Santa Claws is cancelled this year due to the increased costs associated with this event. The Virginia Zoo is committed to providing high quality, yet affordable, programs for our members and visitors. In this economic climate, the expenses for this event have grown significantly, and we can no longer cover our costs at the current ticket prices. As a nonprofit organization, it would be irresponsible to operate at such a drastic loss, but a much higher ticket price would be a burden for most families.  We are reevaluating holiday events at the Virginia Zoo and want to come up with the best experiences for our members, visitors and the Zoo. We appreciate everyone who has supported this event and the Virginia Zoo.
