For visitors to Zoo this Christmas, there is an extra special treat in store - it’s Panto time! For the first time ever, London Zoo is proud to present a full-scale, top-notch traditional Pantomime. Now there’s even more family fun to be had on your day out at the Zoo.

The classic tale of Dick’s journey from rags to riches is a magical blend of love and adventure, packed with comedy and festive fun for all ages. Add to this the huge range of amazing animals at the zoo and you have the ideal Christmas holiday trip.

Set in a purpose built pantomime theatre in the heart of the Zoo, this highly entertaining adventure will take you from the delights of London town to the Moroccan shores and back again. Seek your fortune with Dick Whittington and his amazing friends: Fairy Bow Bells, Alice Fitzwarren, Dame Sarah the Cook, Alderman Fitzwarren and Tommy the Magical Cat.
