Elmwood Park Zoo’s Trick-or-Treat Night

October 30 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Halloween is going wild at Elmwood Park Zoo! Families are invited to celebrate the spooky season during the Zoo’s annual Trick-or-Treat Night on Friday, October 30, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., featuring special appearances by Philadelphia Eagles mascot Swoop and the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders, live music, animal encounters, and plenty of Halloween treats.

The family-friendly celebration transforms the Zoo into an after-hours trick-or-treating destination, where children and adults are encouraged to arrive in their favorite costumes and explore the grounds while collecting candy at treat stations throughout the Zoo.

Adding to the excitement, Swoop and members of the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders will make special appearances throughout the evening, bringing some Eagles spirit to the Halloween festivities. Guests can also enjoy live musical performances from Danielle and Jennifer, meet some of the Zoo’s animal ambassadors, and explore the indoor Habitat HQ and Trail of the Jaguar exhibits.

For guests 21 and older, Zoo Brew will offer specialty drink deals, with additional beverage sampling from Not Pizza Vodka Drinks.

Whether families are looking to fill their candy bags, show off their Halloween costumes, or experience the Zoo in a completely different atmosphere, Trick-or-Treat Night offers a memorable way to kick off Halloween weekend.

$30 Non-Member Child Admission, $25 Member Child Admission (Each child admission includes two free adults)
