Thursday, October 2 - Friday, October 31
In the crisp fall air, stroll through the Zoo along a dedicated paved pathway and become immersed in dazzling lights and charming decorations. Follow the path and be fully immersed in Halloween with each step you take. For the 4th annual Halloween-themed event, the Racine Zoo is giving a new and fresh look to Jack-O’-Lantern Nights from Thursday, October 2 through Friday, October 31. From its debut in 2022, this event earned recognition as a nominee in the Innovation Award category for the 2023 Wisconsin Governor’s Tourism Awards, and we are thrilled to bring it back for year four with a fresh new look!
This new company will help to change Jack-O’-Lantern Nights, and help us create a show that is more unique and customary to the Zoo. Visitors will continue on the path lit with Halloween themed up lighting to fit with the ambiance that is Jack-O’-Lantern Nights. Once they continue around the corner, they will see a path filled with pumpkins displays, tractors, photo-ops with pumpkins and hay bales, and filled with spooky lighting all throughout.
