A new year is officially underway, and if you’ve resolved to spend more time with the family, don’t procrastinate. It’s been 2015 for only a few hours — you can’t run screaming into solitude just yet. Take the gang to Jungle Island, where Wild Holidays is still in full swing. The zoological park’s seasonal celebration features a host of fun-filled diversions, from a multicultural holiday village to towering candy canes, train rides, reindeer games with Rudolph, live shows, and a holiday parade of animals. Plus, visits with Santa Claus (he’s officially on vacay now), face painting, and lots more. There are plenty of distractions, so everyone from infants to grandparents can keep themselves happy. Wild Holidays is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through this Sunday at Jungle Island, 1111 Parrot Jungle Trail, Miami. Park admission is $34.95 for adults and $26.95 for children 3 to 10. You can pick up a coupon for $6 off admission at participating Burger King locations. Visit jungleisland.com/wildholidays or call 305-400-7000.
