Bring Your Dog to the Zoo: Howl-o-Ween Edition

October 20 @ 3:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Join us for Tricks AND Treats at Bring Your Dog to the Zoo: Howl-o-Ween Edition!

Humans and dogs alike are invited to wear costumes and enjoy the sights (and scents!) of fall colors and Halloween decorations throughout the Zoo. A free gift and some tasty treats will be provided for dogs and -new for this event!- Oat and Paw will also be on-site! Oat & Paw is a local dog BOO-tique stocked with natural treats, grooming essentials for those in-between-bath days, and hand-sewn, seasonal scrunchie bandanas just in time for Halloween.

Please note:

*Advance registration for dogs is required

*Dogs must be up-to-date with rabies vaccination, distemper and parvo vaccinations, and proof of vaccination must be submitted to the Zoo in advance

*Dogs must be on a non-retractable leash that’s a maximum of six feet long

*Each dog must have an adult (human!) companion in attendance: a minimum of one adult guest per dog is required

Dog tickets will be $20 each (Members receive a discount that applies automatically to your cart when you’re logged in) and regular zoo admission rates will apply to all adults and children who attend with their furry friends. Certain areas of the Zoo, such as the Aviary and animal feeding experiences will be excluded, but dog-friendly pathways will be noted, and maps will be handed out on arrival.

Guests who reserve dog tickets for the event can plan to arrive any time after 3:30 p.m. and before 5:30 p.m. After purchasing a dog ticket, guests will receive a link and with an invitation to submit your dog’s proof of vaccination. Documentation must be uploaded no later than one week prior to the date of the event. Dogs that do not have proof of vaccination on file by the deadline will be unable to enter the Zoo. If your dog attended a previous event and your paperwork remains up-to-date, you do not need to re-submit the paperwork as we will keep it on file until it expires.
