Pumpkin Bash returns to Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo

Kids in costumes and animals smashing pumpkins are just a few of the sights families will see at the Pumpkin Bash.

The 2024 Pumpkin Bash will be at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle from October 26-27. Attendees can enter through the Pinney Avenue North or Fremont Avenue entrances. 

From 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m., families will have options to hit the Mad Science Show in 1899 Grove and many more spooky, kid-friendly events.

The Pumpkin Bash is at a zoo after all and organizers are taking full advantage by creating playful sights with some of Woodland Park's famous furry residents.

There will be animals including snow leopards, otters, gorillas, and bears gobbling, smashing, and playing with pumpkins and treats. Here is when you can view them:
