During the afternoons of Oct. 7-8, 14-15, and 20-22, the zoo is filled with pumpkin displays, entertainment, face painting, photo opportunities, and trick-or-treating. There will also be Halloween-themed enrichment activities throughout the zoo, and the whole zoo will be open, so you can see the animals enjoying special treats.

Each weekend of the event has a different costume theme. The first is Nerd Out in Nature - dress up as a character from a movie, board game, or hobby. The next weekend, 14-15, dress up as a movie monster for Monster Mash weekend. Finally, on Oct. 20-22, dress like your favorite character from a movie or book.
