When the sun goes down, the Halloween fun continues October 23–25 with three nights of “monster-ous” thrills and chills for the whole family. Dress up for trick-or-treating and a costume contest, then enjoy a DJ and dance floor, animal encounters, bounce houses and inflatable slides, Zoo Train rides, a photo booth, rock wall, kids’ hay maze, spooky stories and s’mores by the campfire, and more.
These special after-dark event nights require a separate ticket and are not included with regular daytime Zoo admission. Santa Barbara Zoo Members receive $5 off general admission ticket prices.
Can’t make it to an after-dark event night? Enjoy Daytime Boo at the Zoo during regular Zoo hours October 16–31, or check out the Zoo’s first-ever 21+ Adult Night on October 22.
