Pumpkins at the Park

October 18th, 19th, 25th - 27th
6:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Our family favorite Halloween spooktacular returns this year, with more thrills and more chills than ever before. The park after dark is loaded with surprises, with just the right amount of fright to keep young fans of the season coming back for more year after year.

The best part is that all proceeds go to support our Winter Fund, helping us raise the nearly $600,000 it takes to support the animals in our care each year. Yikes! Now that’s scary—or at least it could be, if it weren’t for fans like you helping to support our family-owned park and our mission to help preserve endangered animals for generations to come.

Admission – Child - $10.00; Adult - $10.00

(Limit 3 children per paying adult)

Pumpkins at the Park includes FREE, frightfully delightful fun:

Pumpkin Trail - with over 400 lighted pumpkins and 15 Candy Stations around the Park

Henry's Haunted Inflatable - 50ft Inflatable Haunted House Obstacle Course

Land o' Giants - Walk among some of Halloween's favorite characters who seem larger than life

Dr. Frank N. Stein's Mystery Show - Our popular stage show entertains aspiring Einsteins with a mad scientist's mysterious experiments and proven potions for fun

Chamber of Mystery - Every year the Chamber changes to a new theme. Relax and get warm in the Chamber of Mystery, which features special Halloween treats from the Witch's Kitchen, a movie, and Creepy Crawler Animal Ambassadors and much, much more.

We said there is something for everyone, so this year we have some "magic potions" (a.k.a beer and mixed drinks) for adults. Be the envy of your friends with your very own light up 12oz beer mug or Margarita glass.

All proceeds from this event go to support the Tanganyika Winter Fund, which was established to help our family-owned Park raise nearly $600,000 needed to provide year 'round care for the animals at the Park, with no support from government funding - yikes, talk about a scary montrous goal! But one we've faced successfully every year, thanks to the support of guests like you. Have a safe and happy Halloween!
