Calling all mummies, pumpkins, and ghosts! The Zoo invites visitors to this much more sweet than spooky special event on Friday, October 25 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday, October 26 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Halloween Spooktacular, presented by Prairie Farms Dairy, will be filled with a maze, costumes, and, of course, goodies ghoul-ore! The animals will also be celebrating, receiving pumpkins filled with their favorite treats for enrichment.
Halloween has never been more fun with these not-too-scary spooktacular activities:
- Fun times await kids in the twist and turns of the haystack maze!
- Magical “pumpkins” 12 and under, or groups and families with themed costumes can enter our
Spooktacular Costume Contest! Registration is from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and winners will be announced during the after-parade festivities. All registered participants will be entered into a prize giveaway!
- Slip into your favorite Halloween attire and march in our annual costume parade Saturday at 2 p.m. The parade starts at the Northwestern Mutual Family Farm and ends at the Peck Welcome Center, where the winner will be announced.
- Trick or treat! Collect savory sweet treats by visiting treat stops located among our animal habitats! For the little ghosts and goblins with food allergies, we have a few allergy-free stops, courtesy of the Teal Pumpkin Project. Kids will receive Halloween wristbands, stretch snakes, spiders and more!
- Our animals will join in the Halloween fun, receiving special pumpkins filled with their favorite treats for extra spooktacular enrichment!
