The Bicentennial Pavilion transforms into a magical night of Halloween fun—on the front stoop of Leeward Manor—the whimsical home of the Leeward Sisters, Terra, Wisp and Bubbles. These magical, silly-not-spooky sisters guide kids on an enchanted adventure, where their Aunt Clara Voyant uses her magic tree to reveal everyone’s “animal twin.”
Presented by Lark Ranch, this fan-favorite event lets you watch the Zoo’s elephants stomp, smash and snack on giant pumpkins, a true Halloween treat for the elephants and for guests!
This is your chance to snap fun fall photos surrounded by creatively decorated scarecrows throughout Forests, perfect for capturing your ZooBoo memories.
Families can join a spirited potions class guided by Magnificent Mixie. Find her in front of Café on the Commons near the Forests entrance.
