FamilyEasyYear-round
Enjoy a family-friendly evening at the zoo featuring light displays and themed activities perfect for the October Halloween season.
Itinerary tips
- 1Purchase tickets online in advance to secure a specific entry time slot, as these themed October evenings frequently sell out.
- 2Plan for at least 2 to 3 hours to walk the entire loop and experience the light displays and interactive stations.
- 3Bring a warm jacket and comfortable walking shoes, as temperatures drop rapidly in the canyon foothills once the sun sets.
- 4Utilize the complimentary parking lot directly across from the zoo entrance, arriving 15 minutes early to account for local traffic.
- 5Pack a glow-in-the-dark accessory or child-friendly costume to fully participate in the festive atmosphere.
- 6Check the daily schedule upon arrival to catch specific animal encounters that occur before the nocturnal exhibits close.
