  • Aquatic & Reptile Center: Learn more about building a bat house in your own backyard to help bats who are losing their habitats. Color a paper bat to add to the bat house.
  • Lake Evinrude Deck: Venture through our Halloween Haystack Maze, creatively constructed with haystacks and Halloween characters!
  • Northwestern Mutual Family Farm Dancing Light Show: Head over to the Northwestern Mutual Family Farm to check out our dazzling light show!

What is it like to be a bat? Choose a variety of bat ears to wear, including insectivore and vampire species. Join the Kohl’s Wild Theater actors for their “Halloween Jamboree” of skits featuring super heroes, singing animals, and the trash monster! Audiences will learn about composting, the changing seasons, and how to avoid becoming “the trashmonster” this Halloween! 6:45 p.m., 7:30 p.m. & 8:15 p.m.
  • Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country: Our popular African lions, Themba and Sanura, will serve as the exotic backdrop as you get a Halloween-themed temporary tattoo!
