Jack-O'-Lantern Nights to light up Racine Zoo Sept. 28 through Oct. 29 🎃

RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- More than 1,000 jack-o'-lanterns and festive illuminations will light up Racine Zoo for their Halloween event, Jack-O'-Lantern Nights, taking place Sept. 28 through Oct. 29. 

According to the zoo, guests will get to stroll through the zoo and immerse themselves in dazzling lights and decorations. The jack-o'-lanterns will light up the night for all to see, along with an abundance of custom designs to discover including cats, owls, scarecrows, and more Halloween-themed creations. 

The Racine Zoo is working with the company, Rise of the Jack O' Lanterns, based in New York, to help create the artistic pumpkins to line the walkways of the zoo. 

New in 2023, pumpkin sculptures will be on display. These large structures will consist of multiple pumpkins placed together in the shape of an animal with details carved into them.

“See the Zoo in a different ‘light’!” said Beth Heidorn, Racine Zoo Executive Director. “We had such an amazing event last year that we just had to bring it back this year! This year’s event will be even more special and we are certain to put smiles on our guests’ faces! See you at the Zoo!

The family-friendly event will be open from 6-10 p.m. at the Racine Zoo, located at 2131 N. Main Street. Admission is $10 per person and free for children under 2 years and younger.
