Firefighters have been battling a blaze at Chessington World of Adventures Resort in Surrey.
The park was not open to the public when emergency crews were alerted at 9am and no one was believed to be injured, according to London Fire Brigade.
It had been due to open at 10am for a "festive zoo day" according to its website, but has now been closed for the day.
Eight fire engines were called to the scene of the blaze at the Creaky Cafe.
Fire station manager Craig Carter said: "The fire is affecting a large part of a restaurant within the park, and crews are working hard to bring it under control.
"There were a lot of flames and the area was quite smoky when we arrived, but thankfully firefighters are making very good progress.
"Luckily it doesn't seem like anyone has been involved or injured.
"We're working with our partners at Surrey Fire and Rescue Service along with the police and ambulance services to ensure the incident is brought safely under control."
The fire was near the zoo in the park. All animals have been evacuated to a safe place and no animal injuries have been reported, said the fire service.
The park said on Twitter: "Due to unforeseen circumstances Chessington will be closed today.
"If you had tickets booked for today, they will be valid for another day in the future... Further updates will follow."
A Metropolitan Police spokesman earlier said: "There are some road closures in place to ensure people are kept a safe distance away."
Surrey Police had said people should avoid the area around the park as the A243 was closed - but it was later fully re-opened to traffic.
