A man in a pumpkin hoodie and sunglasses holds a small pumpkin while smiling at the camera, standing next to three children in Halloween costumes: one dressed as a witch with a green hat, another with colorful face paint and a witch hat, and the third in a white shirt with red and blue hearts. They are all smiling and appear to be at an outdoor Halloween event.

  • Check the park's schedule for specific times of special animal encounters to ensure you don't miss out on unique interactions.
