Treat bags are available at the end of the scavenger hunt for an additional fee of $3 per participant. In keeping with the zoo's mission, Howloween aims to be educational as well as fun, and all the treats come from companies that are committed to using deforestation-free palm oil.

Activities are best suited for children ages 2-12, but all are welcome.
