The National Weather Center has in there long range forecast that there is a good chance that the Inland Empire Mountains will have a White Christmas. It’s not every year that we see a white Christmas in our mountains so the thought of the cold white stuff coming in just in time for Jolly Old Saint Nick.
All proceeds go to benefit Southwestern vocational college and their job training program for veterans and the community
So we have snow, Christmas and families off for the holiday break that can mean only one thing……. Snow play!!!!!!!!
So here is our list of fun stuff to do while everyone is on winter break:
Alpine Zoo
BBAZ opened in 1959 and has been saving animals since then. Most of the animals in our zoo are the ones that have been injured or impacted by humans and cannot be released back into the wild. Currently located on 2.5 acres, guests will enjoy a close-up and personal experience with our animals. We offer enrichment talks every day at 12, 1, 2, and 3 PM. Plans are underway to build a new facility with completion set at late 2017 or early 2018. For more information go to http://bigbearzoo.org/
