Special Events
Join us for an array of special Zoo events that are sure to make any season a wild one.
Llama Trek
Let’s take a trip to the Andes—without leaving the Zoo! Llama Trek on the Northern Trail opens on May 25. With minimal separation from the animals, you can observe llamas lunching, munching, grooming, and snoozing. Meet another Andean animal, Guinea pigs, and learn how your support for the Zoo is saving wild chinchillas from extinction in Chile. Llama Trek is included with your Zoo admission. For additional fees, you can also feed a llama, walk a llama along a path, and take a camel ride. The path through Llama Trek is accessible to wheelchairs and mobility assists.
Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular
In fall 2024, thousands of carved pumpkins will light up the night at the 6th annual Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular. This one-of-a-kind, family-friendly experience is only at the Minnesota Zoo! On an outdoor trail, you’ll see 5,000 hand-carved pumpkins with not-so-spooky smiles, whimsical grins, and realistic scenes of the wild world. Tickets on sale in September.
