Thanks to everyone who participated in this past year's event. This years Halloween at the Zoo will take place on Sunday, October 24, 2010.

Halloween at the Zoo
Halloween at the Zoo is a celebration for the entire community that includes free Trick-or-Treating, a Fun House, and music.

Halloween at the Zoo has proven itself to be a steadfast, supported and celebrated tradition that is endorsed by local Police & Fire agencies as "A neat place to meet for a safe trick-or-treat". Since it's inception in 1987, the event has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the Henry Vilas Zoo. This year, net proceeds will benefit the Zoo Century campaign, a ten-year $27 million fundraising initiative to complete major Zoo renovations. Halloween at the Zoo is supported by businesses, organizations and families from across Dane County and is presented by Associated Bank.
