Witches, Goblins and spooky critters can be found this Halloween season at ZooTampa's Creatures of the Night.
"There is eerie fun for every family member from the little kids all the way to the adults," said Sandra Morrison, Director of Communications at ZooTampa.
Not only is the zoo decorated for the occasion, but the animals will be out all night long, too.
"We have one true haunted house and that's meant to scare our guests. We have a three pumpkin scare level, and that's the only level three we have in the entire park," explained Alex Crow, Director of Entertainment Productions.
NEW Creatures of the Night Attractions for 2022:
- Swamp Witch Way: ZooTampa guests who are brave enough to seek out Blackwater Mattie for themselves may be lucky – or perhaps unlucky – enough to find her along Swamp Witch Way in Florida Wilds. Though she’d prefer to be left alone, she does love to bargain, so make sure you have something to trade before you venture into her cursed territory.
- New Neverland: Forever children the Lost Boys – along with their famous leader, Peter Pan – have found their way to Creatures of the Night and launched a game of never-ending hide-and-seek along Zoo Blvd. West. Join them for the playing of pranks and other rambunctious fun.
- HooDoo Hall: Guests who dare to travel ZooTampa’s Ituri Pass Through will find a Mardi Gras party festooned with flags, dripping with beads, and staffed by colorful skeletons prepared to party for eternity.
- Spooky Safari: As if the bit scary animals you’ll encounter along ZooTampa’s Africa Path aren’t spooky enough, ZooTampa has enlisted the help of two long-dead safari guides to take our bravest explorers out on the African Veldt for an adventure.
Returning Creepy Favorites:
- Twisted Tales: Perfect for ZooTampa’s youngest guests, Manatee Circle is the place to see everyone’s favorite storybook villains come to life. Don’t worry; the Fairy Godmother will also be there to keep our evildoers on their best behavior.
- Clown Carousel: Whether you find clowns frightful or delightful, you won’t want to miss Carousel Circle, where a troupe of clowns have set up shop to play pranks on passing guests and smash a whole bunch of pumpkins.
- Scarecrow Junction: Visit ZooTampa’s Wallaroo area to dance with the scarecrows who’ve gathered to celebrate the season. While you’re there, you can also try your luck at escaping the open-air HaHa Haybale Maze.
- The Realm of the Spider Queen: Are you ready to meet Arachne, the Spider Queen? If so, find your way to the Africa Tunnel and Circle for a high-energy dance party presided over by the queen herself.
