Celebrate fall with spooktacular activities, amazing animals and pumpkins galore!

Their beloved fall event kicks off Oct. 4 and continues every Thursday through Sunday all month long. The Zoo opens daily at 9am, so come early to visit your favorite animals, before the event activities happen from 2-7pm. Their wildly popular Pumpkin Town presented by Macy’s is back again this year. The Bicentennial Pavilion will be transformed into a whimsical village where Mayor Jack bestows fun all around. The mirror maze hides thrills and smiles around every corner. You can meet not-so-scary critters in Jack’s Barn, encounter a friendly witch and stop in at a crafty Pumpkin School. The animals offer the perfect backdrop for all the family-friendly fun. Enjoy extra animal keeper chats and Halloween-themed animal enrichment, like the pumpkin-splattering fun of Elephant Pumpkin Smash presented by Sam’s Club. Kids are encouraged to wear their favorite, wild costumes and bring a reusable bag to collect a few treats. Allergy-friendly snacks are available, and we proudly provide only items that use orangutan-friendly palm oil.
