21st Annual Spooktacular

October 24, 25, 26, 30, 31 and November 1st

6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Come to Pumpkinville, the land of pumpkins, for a “spook”tacular good time at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens annual Halloween celebration--with less fear and more cheer!  Spooktacular is a fun, safe and non-scary Halloween event for families at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.  You’ll meet pumpkin people, scarecrows, Jazoo and friends and Zoo animals.  Enjoy live entertainment, music, bounce houses, face painting and more!  Visit the Enchanted Forest with a prince and princess or laugh along as you walk through the funny bone tunnel.  Adults and children alike will be amazed by the hundreds of carved and painted pumpkins throughout the Zoo.  Children will also enjoy the candy and treat stations set up for trick-or-treating throughout the Spooktacular path!  And don’t forget to wear those costumes!
