Creatures of the Night: Halloween Tricks at ZooTampa
What do you get when you combine wildlife, cocktails, and spooky haunts?
ZooTampa's Creatures of the Night, of course!
This event was one of my favorites of the year, and I am oh so grateful that we made the invitation list.
What You Need to Know:
Friday and Saturday nights in October after 4 p.m. is when Creatures of the Night takes place. It's spooky but FUN for all ages. This year you can find a Halloween adventure for the entire family. There's nothing too gory or frightful. It is just a fun night of fright for all!
Creatures of the Night will feature a NEW ICON and TWO NEW scare zones!
- Medusa's Stone Cold Cave
- Fairy Frightful Forest: This was the highlight of our evening. I hope they keep it for next year. It was a gorgeous setting with colorful fairies who light the way until the sidewalk turns dark and scary. It was seriously awesome fun for all ages.
Creatures of a different variety lurk around every area of the Zoo!
- Pumpkin Palooza
- Scarab Point
- Haunted Key West
- Carousel of Creeps: This was another one of my favorites. I loved the “creeps” that mingled near the carousel, and I had so much fun taking photos with them!
- Wolf Haven Village
- Critter Canal
