Harvest Glow

Celebrate autumn with an enchanting journey through the nocturnal world at Harvest Glow, The Bronx Zoo’s family-friendly nighttime Halloween spectacular! All included for one price, this year’s expanded festival features:
🎃 A “Creatures of Darkness” trail dazzling guests with 5,000 hand-carved, animal-themed jack o’lanterns, atmospheric sounds, bubbles, and magical effects.
🦖 The chance to walk among giants at Dinosaur Safari, a prehistoric experience featuring more than 60 life-sized, animatronic dinosaurs and pterosaurs “roaring” to life – including 11 NEW additions debuting this year.
📸 Fan-favorite classics like live pumpkin carving demonstrations, games, face painting, illuminated characters, Wildlife Theater, and endless photo opportunities.
☕️ A variety of popular local food trucks and in-house refreshment stations.
The festival provides a safe, not-too-spooky space for all ages to explore fascinating ecosystems and animals while getting into the seasonal spirit! Learn more & get tickets: bronxzoo.com/harvestglow.
