HALLOWEEN FAMILY FUN
Pumpkin Nights, the nighttime family Halloween spectacular, is returning to the Bronx Zoo on select evenings this fall! Follow an expanded and enhanced animal-themed illuminated jack o’ lantern trail, plus enjoy MORE live pumpkin carving, MORE Wildlife Theater, MORE games and MORE fun than ever before.
This event does not include animal exhibits. All animal exhibits close at the end of daytime park hours.
Oh My Gourd, That’s a Lot of Pumpkins
Pumpkin Nights will feature gorgeous scenes of more than 5,000 illuminated jack o’ lanterns, together with atmospheric sounds, music, costumed characters, fog, bubbles, and colored lights, to provide a festive family atmosphere as you follow a half-mile trail to holiday excitement right here in NYC. Explore diverse and beautiful new biomes, including bioluminescent bays, Amazon rainforests, Arctic winter, and many others.
“I was so impressed with the displays! I couldn't believe how many jack-o-lanterns were created. It was just really wonderful!”
