Denver Zoo's Halloween institution takes over a full month of evenings in 2026, not just the week before Halloween. Kids work trick-or-treat stations through the zoo grounds after regular hours, and the run is long enough that a family can pick a weeknight instead of fighting the closing-weekend crowd.
The dated evenings are October 2 and 3, October 9 to 11, October 16 to 18, October 23 to 25, and October 30, all 4:30 to 9 PM. October 31 is a sensory-friendly night with the same hours, built for guests who need lower stimulation.
