Boo at the Zoo

A ghostly good time is in store for visitors to the Milwaukee County. Here are some of the ghoulish activities scheduled for these frightfully fun evenings:

  • Join our Halloween Haystack Maze, creatively constructed with haystacks and costumed characters! Maze-goers can purchase a sweet treat afterward, as caramel apples are available courtesy of the Zoo’s American Association of Zookeepers (AAZK) organization.           
    (Located in the Center of the Northwestern Mutual Family Farm)

  • Take in our glowing and hand-carved pumpkins in the outdoor Pumpkin Patch! Then, continue on to “Wolf Woods Crossing” to see a group of illuminated pumpkins, as this creative display catches your eye against a backdrop of a musical, animated light show!

  • Have a howling good time and meet our popular (and friendly) Halloween character, Captain Jack Sparrow in the Zoo’s U.S. Bank Gathering Place.

  • Our Chinese alligators and Grand Cayman blue iguana will be your companions as you choose your favorite temporary tattoo to show-off!

  • Take part in a unique craft activity with our Foliage Friends and design a keepsake – a Halloween bat made from leaf rubbings.

  • Join in a batty presentation as zookeepers present a talk on our resident bat collection at the Zoo. You’ll learn that bats are a bit mysterious, and yet, play a very beneficial role in our natural world.

  • A haunted adventure awaits as you hop aboard our Safari Train turned “Raven’s Rail,” for a spooky spin around the park!

  • Join in the traditional Japanese art of paper design to create bat origami animals!

  • Don’t forget our favorite storybook characters, Harry and Fred, as they invite you to take part in yet another one of their spirited adventures! There’s always sure to be crazy fun following these two, wherever their travels take them!
