Family costumes make this event " super " special !
Hot Tips
1 . We are often asked by members : what are the best nights for my family to attend the Halloween Party ? In general , because of $ 1 member tickets , the first two Saturdays are typically the busiest days , especially if the weather is nice . For a quieter experience , easier entry , and parking , try attending on a Thursday or Sunday later in the month .
2 . What about times ? The 5 – 6:30 p . m . timeframe is also our busiest party time . You may want to consider attending later in the evening to enjoy the twinkle lights , lanterns , carved lite pumpkins and the glowing atmosphere of the Zoo at dusk !
3 . Wear comfy shoes . The trick-or-treat trail is approximately 1.3 miles long or around 3,330 steps !
4 . Complete your costume with a special face painting session from the artists at Kaman ' s Face Paint ( Additional charge ).
5 . Because this is one of our highest attended events and the Zoo ' s largest fundraiser , be prepared to head out a bit early to arrive at the Zoo when you planned . Visit LouisvilleZoo . org / notices for any travel advisories .
6 . As always , don ’ t forget to print your tickets before you head off to the Zoo ; it will speed up your entry time . You can use your mobile device also , but be sure to pull up the email or stored document well before checking in .
