It’s that time of the month when we begin to look a bit past Christmas and toward New Years celebrations in Delaware County — and this is a fun one!

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is set to offer a unique celebration for families and children. The “Zoo Year’s Eve Noon Celebration,” scheduled for December 31 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, promises to be a family-friendly event, welcoming 2024 in a distinctive and joyful manner.

A Celebration Tailored for Daytime Enthusiasts

Understanding that not everyone is a night owl, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium has crafted an event that caters to families and children who might not stay awake until the traditional midnight countdown. This daytime celebration provides an ideal setting for families to come together and welcome the New Year in a spirited and inclusive environment.

Engaging Activities and Memorable Experiences

The celebration will be hosted at the picturesque Lakeside Pavilion and Theatre, offering a perfect backdrop for festive activities. Highlights of the event include:

  • Meet the Zoo Character Ambassadors: A chance for children and families to interact with beloved zoo characters, creating lasting memories.
  • Engaging Music and Activities: The event promises a range of activities accompanied by lively music, ensuring entertainment for all ages.
  • Crafting New Year’s Re-Zoo-lutions: An opportunity for guests to reflect and set their goals for the New Year in a fun and creative way.
  • The Noon Countdown: The centerpiece of the event is the unique New Year’s Eve noon countdown, allowing families to experience the thrill of welcoming 2024 together, well before midnight.

The Columbus Zoo’s New Year’s Eve celebration is accessible to all with paid Zoo admission or membership. This inclusivity ensures that a wide range of visitors can participate in the festivities and start the New Year with a sense of community and joy.
