From the Mountain West Championship game to the Treasure Valley Night Light Parade and Elf the Musical, Saturday December 2 is already going to be a fun filled, jam packed day!

But why not try to squeeze in a visit to Zoo Boise this Saturday? After all, admission is FREE!  The zoo is welcoming the holiday season with their annual Claus N' Paws celebration from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.  During the free admission day, Santa will not only be available for photos with your minis, he'll also be bringing zoo residents their holiday gifts!

Have a favorite zoo animal (my favs are the Aldabra Tortise and the penguins) and don't want to miss seeing what goodies Santa packed up in his sleigh for them this year? Here's the schedule of when each animal is scheduled to get their gifts:
