Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular
Thursday, October 29, 2026, 6:00 PM · Roger Williams Park Zoo · Providence
Explore The Great Pun-Kin Trail at Roger Williams Park Zoo, with over 5,000 glowing hand-carved pumpkins featuring wordplay, pop culture and playful characters. This is an art display intended to delight rather than scare, but regular sessions include visual and sound stimulation and may involve queues. The trail is stroller- and wheelchair-accessible with some uneven or unpaved terrain. Free parking is first-come, first-served; premium parking costs extra. Food, beverages, VR and the zip ride are extra. Daytime zoo admission is separate. Open rain or shine; tickets cannot normally be refunded or rescheduled. The zoo makes a refund exception if it closes the event for hazardous weather. Monday–Thursday admission: adults $20, children ages 2–12 $16; ages 1 and under free. Timed tickets must be bought online in advance. Last entry is 10 PM. Citizens customers with proof and a pre-purchased 6 PM ticket may enter at 5:30 PM.
