Behold the magical decorations, faerie lights, and falling snow as you enter the park! You will relive the magic at Santa's Workshop, Sweet Shop and Post Office, as you notice the hand-made and designed decorations made out of 3-dimensional wood and individually painted. Experience the Zoofari Express and Conservation Carrousel lit up in their full holiday regale. After you gaze at the antics of the ever-mischievous monkeys, you can escape into another world at the Tierra de las Pampas Grasslands and rejoice the birth of the newborn anteater!

Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park presents ZOOFARI 2012 On Saturday, August 25, 2012, from 5:30 PM-midnight, the Friends of Santa Ana Zoo, a non-profit organization, hosts the 20th annual Zoofari fundraising black-tie gala with a 1920's theme entitled "Cats Meow." Zoofari takes place at one of the most inspiring venues in Orange County, the Santa Ana Zoo. The evening includes free valet parking underwritten by Villa Ford, a fully hosted bar, delicious hors d'oeuvres, nifty entertainment, a "Roarin' Ricky's" bathtub gin-style signature drink, photo opportunity in a paddy-wagon, 1920's-themed decorations by R.W.B. Party Props, and live and silent auctions. Glen Fladeboe, our prestigious auctioneer, leads the live auction, which is followed by a fully catered sit-down dinner from Parties by Panache, and concludes with dancing to "Soundbytes." Co-chairs and emcees for the evening are OC Register columnist Frank Mickadeit and contributing columnist Barbara Venezia. This year's Zoofari is the final fundraiser for the brand new ocelot exhibit, "Wild Cats of El Bosque Verde" (Wild Cats of the Green Forest). Ocelots are "exotic" wild cats from South America which are often described as "miniature cheetahs." There are currently only 26 Brazilian ocelots in the United States. Scientists hope to increase that number to 120 in captivity by the year 2025. FOSAZ and Zoofari have played an intricate role in funding the continuing upgrades and improvements for the Santa Ana Zoo. At 5:45 PM there will be a special "Wild Cats of El Bosque Verde" Ocelot Exhibit Location "Reveal." This will be the first time the public will be able to see the selected location where the ocelots will be housed before it is built. Drawings and designs of the new exhibit will be on display and available for filming and photography. Reservations are required. Marketing sponsorships and program ads are available. Tickets are $225.00 per person, or tables may be purchased for $2,250.00 for tables of 10. To find out more about this important fundraising event, sponsorship opportunities, or to reserve your seats, call (714) 953-8555 x10.
