💡 Know Before You Go
🎃 Buy tickets online — zoo Halloween nights routinely sell out, especially weekend evenings.
🎃 Arrive right at opening — treat stations have the shortest lines in the first hour.
🎃 Bring a stroller and layers — it’s a lot of walking and October nights get cold.
🎃 Costumes encouraged — most zoo events run costume parades or contests for kids.
🎃 Don’t skip the animals — many are most active in the evening; the nocturnal houses are the hidden highlight.
