New England’s Favorite Fall Tradition is Back! Roger Williams Park Zoo’s Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular: Trivia – 2nd Edition, presented by Citizens, returns with a brand-new batch of brain busters; the answers are carved into the glow of the pumpkins along the trail. Pop culture, movie magic, sports stars and silly surprises; the trail is a playful path of puzzling fun for all ages.

Enjoy the magic of fall at Roger Williams Park Zoo!

RWP Zoo Members Preview Night on Thursday, Sept. 25 from 6:00–10:30 pm, members will be the first to walk the pumpkin trail and see thousands of hand-carved pumpkins glow at night—before the event opens to the public!

You must purchase your discounted tickets in advance to attend this exclusive preview night. Children under 1 are free. (Reciprocal memberships are not included)
