💡 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.
