Special Events
Join us for some spooky animal encounters and other Halloween festivities!
Wear your favorite costume and visit the vendors for some delicious candy!
Food trucks will also be available for you to enjoy. And remember to participate in the costume contest at noon to win some fantastic prizes! We can’t wait to see you there!
Get ready to wow the crowd at this fantastic event! This event is more than just a day of fun—it’s a fantastic opportunity for community involvement and a perfect way to connect with hundreds of local families in a lively, festive atmosphere.
Bring your best candy, fun giveaways, eye-catching promotional materials, and don’t forget your table (and a tent if you’d like some shade). The fun kicks off at 10 AM, with vendor setup from 9–10 AM. Up to four people per table get in for free, so bring your team! Every booth will automatically be entered into our Zoo BOOth Contest—deck yours out in its spookiest, most creative style for a chance to win an unforgettable sloth encounter for four plus four Emerald Coast Zoo T-shirts.
Please note: No food trucks may register for this event.
