Experience a spooktacular new way to celebrate the Halloween season!
Citizens presents a drive-through Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo October 1 – November 1, 2020.

We are SOLD OUT for the remainder of the show. Thank you to everyone that has supported our Zoo!

We need Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular volunteers (16+). We are excited to be able to host this event as a drive-through for 2020. But we need a lot of help and support (in addition to our regular staff) to run this important community event and fundraiser for the Zoo. Please consider volunteering for a fun and exciting shift!
