Wrap & Relax

Holiday Gift Wrapping at Wilderness Trails Zoo

Why Choose Wrap & Relax?

Support A Local Nonprofit

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the zoo depends on community support to keep our wolves howling, lemurs leaping, and capybaras cozy all winter long. When you wrap gifts with us, you’re giving twice– once to your loved ones, and once to the animals you care about.

Make Your Holiday Brighter (And Easier!)

The holidays are busy- let us take one thing off your list. While our team wraps your gifts with care, you can enjoy the zoo, explore the gift shop, soak up the beauty of our Holiday Lights Drive-Through, or go get some errands done!

You’ll leave with beautifully wrapped presents and the satisfaction of knowing your visit was a gift to the staff and animals at your local zoo.

Help Build A Wilder, Happier Zoo

Funds from Wrap & Relax directly support habitat improvements and the development of our ADA accessible community and sensory gardens. These initiatives expand enrichment opportunities for our animals and create educational, nature-based spaces for our community to enjoy.

If your store or business would like to participate, we would love to hear from you!

A Gift From You, To The Zoo
