Chimes & Bells

Chimes & Bells is an institution located at 1300 Senter Road in San Jose, California, United States. This institution is part of Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, which aims to connect people to nature through various activities and programs.

Currently, the jaguar and red panda habitats are undergoing renovations, so the animals have been moved to behind-the-scenes enclosures for their safety and comfort. The renovations are expected to be completed by mid-April or May. Stay updated on the progress by following Happy Hollow's social media channels.

For those interested in beekeeping, there are workshops offered by Steve Demkowski, the resident beekeeper at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo. These workshops provide an opportunity to learn about bees in a hands-on class setting at the on-site apiary.

Children aged 8 to 13 can participate in zookeeping camps, where they can learn about animals, help with cleaning enclosures, create diets, and discover animal training techniques. These camps offer a blend of real-world experience with fun activities, games, crafts, and animal encounters.

Happy Hollow Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 1958, is dedicated to advocating, supporting, and enhancing Happy Hollow Park & Zoo. The foundation works towards promoting conservation, education, and play at the park.

Visitors who have purchased admission tickets or memberships at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo since 2015 have contributed to the conservation of wildlife. In 2023, the park awarded grants totaling $50,000 to four conservation organizations working towards the conservation of various species.

Conservation and sustainability are central to all programs, exhibits, activities, and operations at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo. Visit Chimes & Bells to experience the wonders of nature and support conservation efforts.
