Celebrate Halloween! at the Buffalo Zoo is back with a fang-tastic lineup of family-friendly activities! Collect your favorite Halloween goodies as you make your way through the Trick-or-Treat trail (open 11:00 am–2:00 pm), laugh uncontrollably at the Super Hilarious Magic Shows by Nick Mambretti, and try to find your way out of the corn maze. Little ghouls and goblins won’t want to miss making memories with the characters at our photo spot and complimentary rides on the carousel and train! After working up an appetite, indulge in your favorite fall treats available throughout the Zoo.
Once you’re done with all the Halloween fun, stay and explore! Wish your favorite animals a Happy Halloween and watch as they interact with an assortment of seasonal goodies like pumpkins! Zoo admission is included in the ticket price. This event is designed for children ages 12 and under.
