Rock & Roar, Wild Zoo Halloween: 2 extra weeks of spooky enjoyable on the FW Zoo

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — Wild Zoo Halloween brings a merrier, much less scary occasion to the Fort Wayne Zoo for Halloween.

“I can’t believe we only have two weeks left of this event,” stated Rick Schuieteman, Fort Wayne Zoo director. “It’s gone so fast.”

The occasion consists of spooktacular actions, together with spooky Keeper Chats, Halloween-themed enrichment, scrumptious treats, and even appearances by a few of your favourite Halloween characters!

Event goers are even inspired to put on a dressing up, with the caveat that visitors who’re ages 13 and older could not put on costume masks or hoods, and all costumes are topic to the suitable costume code for the Zoo.

“I just love another reason for people to come to the zoo,” Shuiteman stated. “It’s just so fun.”

Additional leisure consists of magic exhibits on Saturdays, dance events on Sundays, and a stay pumpkin carver in motion, with a special theme occurring each weekend.

The remaining two weekends have the next themes,

Oct. 17–19: Pirates and Princesses, with Captain Hook appearances. On Oct. 18 there’s a Princess Tea Party, which is a ticketed occasion.
Oct. 24–26: Merry Monsters, stuffed with themed acts and character enjoyable.

As the spooky season stumbles on (very similar to a zombie) the Fort Wayne Zoo is holding one other occasion only for adults.

Presented by Rohrman Auto Group, Rock & Roar Halloween is a spooky twist on our 21+ stay music sequence that includes Decade Divide, an area band.

“It’s the biggest Halloween Party in town,” Schuieteman stated. “It’s just a great chance for the adults to come out and enjoy the zoo in a whole different way.”

The zoo encourages costumes to be worn, and notes that whereas it’s an occasion only for adults, costumes are topic to the suitable costume code for the Zoo, and masks/hoods aren’t allowed.

So simply keep in mind to decorate appropaitly as you put together to walk across the Zoo and revel in free rides on will likely be accessible on the Crocodile Creek Adventure Ride and the Endangered Species Carousel.
