1,000 Pumpkins Are Taking Over Wisconsin Zoo This October

Spooky season is here! But what if you don't really want to be spooked at all this Halloween season? You just want to have a nice time enjoying silly pumpkins? If that's the case, the Racine Zoo has you covered. 

We're just a few weeks away from Halloween which means it's time to cram in as many spooky events in your calendar.

The list of Halloween events might seem endless but a lot of them have a scary factor, for obvious reasons... Halloween definitely has scary vibes, but what if that's not how you want to celebrate October?

Are children-themed pumpkin patches your own option? Nope! Thanks to the Racine Zoo and the 1,000 Jack-O-Lanterns gracing their grounds this month.

You can check out the Racine Zoo's Jack-O-Lanterns during the day like Sierra, Jeff and Remy did.

Or you can take the spook factor up a little... like one notch, and enjoy them after hours during Jack-O-Lantern Nights, which runs Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through November 3.

During the day, photo opps with the Jack-O-Lanterns are part of the Racine Zoo admission. From 6-10pm during the Jack-O-Lantern Nights Event, each ticket is $10, children under 2 are free.

I hear after the Jack-O-Lanterns, we're in for a holiday lights exhibit on the same grounds at the zoo.

After you visit the zoo, make sure to tell us which silly pumpkin is your favorite!
