Join us for this spooktacular celebration, where wild creatures and Halloween fun come together! Franklin Park Zoo’s “Zoo Howl” is back and ready for another celebration of tricks and treats!
This annual event offers several family-friendly activities, giving guests the opportunity to trick-or-treat amongst the animals.
Haunted happenings include a costume contest, arts and crafts stations throughout the zoo, and a live DJ providing music for the day.
Costumed characters will be at the front entrance, waiting to take spooky snaps and pictures with guests.
This event is included with general Zoo admission. Event takes place rain or shine.
Keep an eye out—some of our animals might be getting into the spirit too! And don't forget to show off your Halloween style in our kids' costume contest!
SUSTAINABLE SWEETS
This Halloween (and every day) look for candy made with certified sustainable palm oil.
Palm oil plantations are wiping out animal habitats, and from snacks to soap, palm oil is the most widely consumed vegetable oil on the planet.
Check out Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's palm-oil friendly candy guide(opens as a PDF) for some sustainably sweet treats for your tricksters!
Learn more about the palm oil crisis and how to shop responsibly.
