Celebrate Autumn at the Toledo Zoo's Fall Fur All

Posted: Monday, September 24, 2012 by: Kandace York | Category: Arts and Entertainment


Don’t miss Fall Fur All on Saturday, October 13. With pumpkin painting, games, entertainment and more, it’s yet another reason why autumn is awesome at the Toledo Zoo.

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., you’ll be able to paint a pumpkin that will be displayed throughout the Zoo’s signature Halloween events, Pumpkin Path (October 20-21) and Little Boo (October 18-19)! The pumpkins will then be given to some of your favorite Zoo animals as special Halloween enrichment during Jumping Pumpkins (October 27-28).

Throughout the day on October 13, Fall Fur All showcases great live entertainment, family-friendly games, strolling magic, an artistic pumpkin-carving demonstration, a zoo-themed bounce house and more.

You’ll find fabulous fall fun in Nature’s Neighborhood, too, as you navigate a mini straw maze, see an animal show and watch a spider feeding demonstration. With major sponsorship from McDonald’s and pumpkin-decorating sponsorship from Giant Eagle, this event is free with regular Zoo admission. Learn more attoledozoo.org/fur.
