The OC Zoo holds its Halloween Zoo-tacular on Saturday, October 24, 2026, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The small zoo sits inside Irvine Regional Park at 1 Irvine Park Road in Orange.
Kids 12 and under can join a scavenger hunt and go trick-or-treating, and there are spooky crafts. Throughout the day, zoo animals receive treat-filled pumpkins.
Halloween Zoo-tacular cost
Activities are free with zoo admission, which is $2 per person. Children 2 and under get in free. No reservations are needed, but zoo coupons and free passes are not valid for this event. Candy and scavenger hunt prizes are available while supplies last.
Parking
OC Parks charges $5 per car to park on weekends.
The Irvine Park Railroad pumpkin patch runs in the same park through October 31, so families can plan both in one trip.
