Cosley Zoo Pumpkins Fest

Cosley Zoo is a feast for the senses during the month of October. Breathe in the crisp fall air as you enter the zoo through a cornstalk lined path, hear the crunch of the leaves underneath your feet, listen to the squeals of excitement from the children conquering the straw pyramid or finding their way through the corn stalk tunnel, and take in the thousands of pumpkins scattered on the zoo’s lawn. Apples, gourds, pumpkins, cider, cornstalks, and various sizes of straw bales are available to purchase. Be sure and check out the fall merchandise in the Wild Side Gift Shop too. Proceeds from your purchases benefit the continued development of Cosley Zoo.

Drop in for Animal Discovery Zone from 10:30 a.m. to noon, Saturdays and Sundays during October and Monday, October 10 for a make and take craft and hands-on activity. $1/child. Additional activities will also be offered, times will vary. Call 630.665.5534 for more information.
