Recurring Event (See all)

Costumes, animals, candy and fun! Free with admission and zoo membership.

Happy Howl-o-ween! Dress up like a cat, elephant or other favorite animal and then see that same real-life animal during Zoo Boo weekend. Wear a costume and join in the fun. Play ghostly games for treats. And look around the zoo for all our decorations.

Join us for a fun, fall-themed weekend as our animals experience special pumpkin enrichments. Animals enjoy fall treats and there’s even a costume parade! Meet at the Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater at 11:45 a.m. to kick off the parade.

Watch as divers carve pumpkins underwater in the Northwest Waters habitat of the Pacific Seas Aquarium.
