Pumpkins Around the World at the Jack-O'-Lantern Spectacular

Open Nightly from Thursday, September 28th - Tuesday, October 31st, 2023. 

New England’s favorite fall event is back at Roger Williams Park Zoo.  This year’s Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular, presented by Citizens, takes you around the world.  Thousands of artistically carved pumpkins will magically transport you to Europe, Africa, Asia and even Route 66. From the Pyramids of Giza to the Tower of Pisa, the Spectacular will satisfy everyone’s case of wanderlust…  No passports are required.

Add a bit of excitement to the experience and witness the glowing pumpkins from 115 feet above on the Zoo’s Soaring Eagle Zip Ride.
