Whoo-hoo-hoo’s that chap at Telford's Exotic Zoo?
Telford's Exotic Zoo is kicking off the festivities for zoo guests with its own Santa's Grotto.
The grotto, which was officially opening on Saturday, has been given the seal of approval by one of the zoo's special residents - Barney Jr, the barn owl.
As well as hosting its own grotto, the zoo has also launched a new 'Breakfast with Santa' experience in the attraction's Jungle Cafe.
The festive experience runs from 9.30am-10.30am on selected days, where families can meet Father Christmas over a themed breakfast.
Guests can make their own Christmas tree waffles and reindeer or snowman pancakes, with decorations including marshmallows, sprinkles, chocolate drops, raisins, squirty cream, and chocolate and strawberry sauces.
Breakfast also includes a hot bap, with a vegan option on offer, as well as hot and cold drinks.
The experience, which includes a gift and a meeting with Santa, costs £15 per child, while adults get breakfast for £5.
Breakfast with Santa is available on December 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24. To book tickets, call 01952 591164.
A spokesman for the zoo said: "We are a small Shropshire zoo with a mighty mission to connect our local community with the natural world.
"There is something for all of the family here at Exotic Zoo. From really wild animal encounters, to VIP experiences suitable for a variety of ages! We hohohope to see you soon!"
