HOOT 'N' HOWL

By Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium October 7, 2022

The best Northwest fall event. Ever.

4 nights of Animals, costumes, CANDY

Put on a costume and experience the wildlife park at twilight! Lights, animals and spookiness... plus candy too. Play pumpkin checkers and tic tac toe. And snap those adorable spooky photos. (No costume face masks for adults, please.)

Nighttime forest fun

Come explore the forest at night! Walk our animal paths decorated with spooky lights and search for our 8 trick-or-treat stations. Listen for nighttime animal noises. And climb like a spider, swoop like a bat and do Freaky Food Science in our Kids' Trek play area, specially lit up for the event.

Meet our nocturnal animals

Nocturnal animals are wide-awake for Hoot 'n' Howl! Come meet them and their keepers during a Keeper Chat: barn owl, raccoon, beaver... you never know who you'll find! Explore our Cheney Discovery Center at night to meet creepy, crawly creatures.
