RED, WHITE & ZOOBILEE

A Historic Summer in the Books!

Walk through a winter wonderland! Zoo Lights & Christmas Nights returns this holiday season.

In July 2026, 3 Palms Zoo marked America's 250th birthday with a one-time evening gathering—trading regular daytime hours for twilight paths, fire-pit marshmallows, the Patriotic Parlor, and quiet moments with Delaware's rescue crew.

While our Semiquincentennial festivities have wrapped up, our summer evening tradition lives on! Each summer, our after-hours programming returns to its signature roots with our beloved Christmas in July celebration. The foxes, alligators, and Pete & Repeat will be ready—swapping out the red, white, and blue for a cool splash of summer snow.

Thank you to all who joined us for this once-in-a-generation milestone. Our care for Delaware's rescues continues 365 days a year.
