Tickets are on sale now for Spooky Safari 2026 on Saturday, Oct. 24 at The Zoo in Forest Park! This not-so-spooky, family-friendly, Halloween event invites you to visit The Zoo in costume and enjoy a trick-or-treat trail for the kids, crafts and activities, animal encounters and a scavenger hunt while visiting with The Zoo's many furry, scaley and feathered friends!
The event also includes a virtual costume contest sponsored by the Holyoke Mall with prizes for the Funniest, Most Creative and Best Group Costumes. To participate, snap a photo while at the event and comment it on the designated Costume Contest Facebook post. Winners will be announced on Oct. 29.
Pre-purchased tickets are required to attend and everyone in your party must have a ticket. NO tickets will be sold at the gate on the day of the event. Library passes, membership cards, GroupOns and one-day passes/vouchers cannot be used for this event. Ticket sales end Oct. 23 at noon or when all child tickets have been sold. This allows us to ensure we have enough goodies for all kids attending.
***Front gate closes at 1:30 p.m.! No one will be admitted into The Zoo after 1:30 p.m. The event ends at 2:30***
