Event Overview
The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium will be hosting a brand new event. Thousands of artistically carved pumpkins will glow in the night during the walk-through Jack O’Lantern Extravaganza . These gourd-geous works of art will feature beloved Zoo animals and familiar characters from the worlds of entertainment, science, fantasy, pop culture, sports, and more, presented with sound, light, and other special effects. This family friendly event is the perfect combination of nighttime fun, the spirit of autumn, and artistry. Thousands of pumpkins will illuminate The Islands and Jungle Odyssey in a spectacle unlike anything you’ve ever seen, including differently themed areas with a Pittsburgh connection!
The Jack O’Lantern Extravaganza will open to the public on Thursday, October 3 and run nightly through Sunday, November 3.
