## About

A daytime Halloween weekend at Roger Williams Park Zoo aimed at families. Children can trick-or-treat around the zoo (while supplies last) with free treat bags from the sponsor, meet costumed characters and watch animals explore fall-themed enrichment. Costumes are encouraged for all ages, but adults may not wear full-face masks. Some treat stations hand out hard candy and the event is not nut-free, so check labels for children with allergies. Activities run outdoors and are weather permitting. Spooky Zoo is included with regular zoo admission and free for members; non-members must buy timed tickets online in advance.
