Pumpkin Bash activities are included with zoo admission or membership!
Enjoy a delightful day filled with pumpkins for animals, trick-or-treating, and more for little goblins, ghosts and “ferocious” critters!
Kids will have a blast trick-or-treating throughout the zoo and participating in the special mascot-led costume parade! Boo-mazium will be a hub of excitement, featuring a variety of engaging activities tailored for our youngest visitors. And, this year, don’t miss out on a live pumpkin carving demonstration on Sunday!
Many of our animals, including bears, tapirs, wolves, tigers and otters, will also get into the Halloween spirit as they gobble, smash, crunch, or play with pumpkins and other autumn-themed treats. These special enrichments are part of our excellent animal care program to encourage natural animal behavior and keep our animals physically and mentally stimulated—they’re fun for our guests, too!
Bring Your Costume
During Pumpkin Bash, one child 12 years and under is admitted to the zoo FREE per each full-priced adult ticket, and costumes are encouraged.
