Creepy Hollows Hayride Enjoy a thrilling hay ride beneath a canopy of beautiful fall foliage past the Birds of Prey exhibit and through the animated town of "Creepy Hollows." The ride includes a look at an abandoned town where anything can happen, so watch out for crashing crates, shaky houses, and strange creatures. The adventure is accompanied by spooky Halloween music. Hayride admission is included with Total Experience Tickets.
The Haunting at Habitat Mansion The Habitat Mansion, once owned by wildlife conservationist Dr. Benton Broome, is said to be the most haunted landmark in the Bronx Zoo. Dr. Broome left his legacy of preserving animal wildlife, habitats and conserving the earth's precious ecological resources to his son, Dusty. But Dusty is not up for the challenge and the ghost of his father wants to ensure the memory of all endangered species is not forgotten. In the Haunted Habitat mansion, ghosts of the past, visions of extinct animals, and the messages of Dr. Broome's ghostly house servants encourage guests to remember the importance of protecting wildlife from the threat of extinction. Mansion admission is included with Total Experience Tickets.

Hand-made puppets and props built by master costumers will be part of the fun as participants march through the zoo alongside a giant python and 8 foot witch on stilts as well as other creatures from the Alice Farley Dance Company. Time: Noon & 2:00 p.m. Location: Starts at Zoo Center
