Spooktacular at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens

Full Description

The Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens hosts their annual Spooktacular event.  Children and adults are encouraged to dress up in their family-friendly costumes to enjoy the winding pathways of themed decorations. There will be activities for all ages from trick-or-treating to scare zones, music, entertainment, and photo-ops.  This is a separately ticketed night event and is not included with regular admission.  Animals will not be visible during this event, as they go to bed before dusk. Tickets start at $25 each, with discounts for members.  Ages 2 and under are free.  

For groups that have a mix of those that enjoy scares and those that don't, purchase a Scaredy Cat necklace for $4.65 so the monsters are less likely to engage with those wearing it.  

New this year! Interested in going to the Zoo beforehand? Purchase a combo ticket that includes same-day access to the park, beginning at 3 pm and stay through the end of Spooktacular.
