Halloween gets a little WILD at Zootober! Each weekend, Peoria Zoo comes alive with glowing lights, creepy creatures, surprising characters, and plenty of Halloween fun for the whole family.
Explore the Zoo as you make your way through immersive Halloween scenes featuring lifelike animatronics, dazzling light displays, and live actors waiting around the corner. Stroll along spooky trails and displays while collecting candy at stops along the way. Grab a spooky snack or themed drink, stop for a Halloween photo op, enjoy hands-on activities, and see what strange new creatures you might encounter.
Please note, all ticket purchases are final. There will be no animals on exhibit during Zootober, but the Zoo will be crawling with eerie “creatures”!
