The annual walk-through Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at the Roger Williams Park Zoo starts Friday and runs through November 2. All tickets must be purchased online. This event does not include animal exhibits. All animal exhibits close at end of daytime zoo hours. No actual theme as in past years; instead, organizers are rolling out a new Trivia Edition. Okay.
Immerse yourself in the captivating world of tricky trivia as you embark on a journey through brain-teasing questions while strolling past 1000s of creatively carved pumpkins. From pop culture to sports to history, test your knowledge and enjoy the magic of fall at Roger Williams Park Zoo.
The Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular is open rain or shine: no refunds or rescheduling.
For an extra $15: Soar through the night sky, gliding 115 feet above ground, in the Soaring Eagle Zip Ride! This ride is exclusively open to same-night Jack-O-Lantern ticketholders! Be prepared to show your same-night ticket at the window before you can buy ride admission. Tickets sold at the Greenhouse and riders will participate after they finish exploring the pumpkin trail.
Trail open nightly: 6pm to 10:30pm. Last entry at 10pm.
Go here for tickets. Choose carefully and then confirm your selection, as all selections/sales are final. The time slot chosen is your arrival window (ex: if you choose 7pm, you must arrive between 7 – 7:59pm). Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled. This is a very popular event; this level of organization keeps thing moving along while avoiding over-crowding.
