About the event:

Join your family and friends in this amazing experience: a night time display of 5,000 illuminated jack-o-lanterns all along our beautiful wetland trail. Well over 100 of the pumpkins are carved into veritable works of art, and presented in themed scenes with music.

This year’s Spectacular, titled “All the World’s a Stage,” features scenes from iconic and popular movies, Broadway hits and television series. Another section pays homage to man’s best friend with an array of carved pumpkins conveying the amazing variety of dog species. In addition, the night wouldn’t be complete without the annual Halloween scene and the kids section filled with childhood favorites. The climax, as always, is the incredible Laughing Tree display comprised of hundreds of pumpkins of every size and the distinctive “laughing” music.

Proceeds from the Spectacular will support the Zoo's education and conservation efforts as well as Zoo improvements.
