Palm Beach County Commissioner Robert Weinroth wants residents to know the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society is celebrating the spooky season by delighting the animals with some extra special treats. Pumpkinpalooza at Palm Beach Zoo is Thursday, October 28 through Sunday, October 31, 2021. The Zoo is inviting the community to come out in costume and celebrate the season, while the animals receive the treats.
From tortoises and bears to alligators and squirrel monkeys, animals will be served up some seasonal fun. See the full Pumpkinpalooza schedule below.
For humans, the Zoo’s Tropics Café is featuring a selection of seasonal favorites including special brews for adults and apple cider for the younger crowd.
The weather is mild and it is a great time to stroll the 23-lush tropical acres of Palm Beach Zoo, and find out what a porcupine does with a pumpkin!

Did you know? Candy isn’t so dandy for wildlife. Many candy brands contain palm oil that, when not harvested sustainably, becomes harmful to animal habitats like the rainforests of Malaysia where siamangs and tigers dwell. Choose your Halloween candy from the list of brands that use sustainable palm oil practices. The 2021 Halloween candy-buying guide can be found here. Our tiger and siamang families thank you on behalf of their cousins in the wild!
