Spooky Zoo at the Santa Barbara Zoo

Grab your costumes and head to the Zoo for an outdoor Halloween spell-ebration! Discover frightfully fun decor and photo opps, all while visiting your favorite animals. Tasty treats and booo-zy adult beverages are available for purchase.

The Zoo will be open regular operating hours in line with our modified and approved COVID-19 safety measures, including limited capacity. Spooky Zoo is generously sponsored by Cottage Urgent Care, California State University Channel Islands, Montecito Bank & Trust, and Community West Bank.

The Spooky Zoo experience is free with Zoo admission; online reservations are required. Reserve general admission tickets here , and SB Zoo Member tickets here .

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, cloth or surgical face coverings that cover your nose and mouth must be worn while in the Zoo; no costume head or face masks permitted. Keep costumes child-friendly: no gore or realistic weapons.
