Hoots & Howls: Daytime Halloween Event
October 12 @ 10:00 AM - October 27 @ 4:00 PM
Calling all ghouls and goblins, it’s almost time to trick-or-treat around the Zoo at the annual Hoots & Howls events! We have kept your favorite activities and added several others this year, so get ready for a fun day in costumes.
Join us for the Hoots & Howls daytime Halloween festival of events at your Birmingham Zoo from 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the last three Saturdays and Sundays in October (12, 13, 19, 20, 26, and 27). Sponsored by Publix Charities, at Hoots and Howls you work your way through the new owl hay maze then go find the hidden coyote figures around the zoo in the scavenger hunt.
Interactive animal shows will be held at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at Gigi’s Porch in Alabama Wilds. Catch the spooky science demonstrations at noon each day and then join the costume parade/contest at 1:00 p.m. which is followed by the Monster Mash dance party. These activities are all included with your zoo admission.
For $10, you can purchase a Candy Trail wristband that covers the Candy Trail stops along Henley Lawn, as well as unlimited rides on the Red Diamond Express Train and climbs on the Full Moon BBQ Adventure Tower. Purchase your Wristband HERE!
ADMISSION IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WRISTBAND PURCHASE!
