Our live, mixing DJ will fill the night air with Halloween hits that have your bones rattlin' to the groovy, ghouly tunes.

Meet, greet, and take photos with our mischievous and colorful scarecrow stilt-walkers.

Visit after dark to feel the glow and see reptiles in a whole new light.

Dr. Zoolittle's Tricks & Treats

Our wildlife care teams will introduce you to some “spooky” wildlife ambassadors. Here you’ll discover how important they are to our ecosystems—and that they’re not really scary at all.

From high above, our talented acrobatic spider performer shows off their skills as they weave their web.

Our animated, neon-colored pumpkin singing group is sure to put a smile on everyone’s faces with their original songs and silly jokes.
