Kids can show off their costumes, fill their treat bags and learn about wildlife in a fun and safe setting over two weekends, during the Oregon Zoo’s annual Howloween celebration, Oct. 19¬–20 and 26–27.
Live entertainment will be taking place both weekends. Visitors can also enter a costume contest, pose with spooky animal X-ray photo ops, and try to guess the weight of an extra-large pumpkin.
Activities are free with zoo admission, and all candy is made by companies that have committed to using deforestation-free palm oil.
As part of Metro, the Oregon Zoo helps make greater Portland a great place to call home. Committed to conservation, the zoo acts globally on behalf of species from pikas to polar bears. Over the past 30 years, it has prevented extinctions, expanded populations, advanced conservation science and formed powerful communities to protect wildlife in the Northwest and around the world.
Support from the Oregon Zoo Foundation enhances and expands the zoo’s efforts in conservation, education and animal welfare. Members, donors and corporate and foundation partners help the zoo make a difference across the region and around the world
