If you haven't visited Halloween SPOOKTACULAR at Dickerson Park Zoo you are missing out on one of the best family Halloween events in Springfield.
Ronald McDonald made a surprise visit handing out treats to children on Wednesday evening. Special guest arrivals will continue through Halloween.

One of the largest additions to SPOOKTACULAR is a scene from "Where the Wild Things Are." This mystical story leads visitors on a narrated journey through Max's bedroom to where the wild things are.
SPOOKTACULAR is open each evening from 6:30 - 9 through Halloween. Advance tickets can be purchased at McDonalds for $3. Tickets at the gate are $4 for everyone 1 and older.

In preparation for Halloween SPOOKTACULAR, Dickerson Park Zoo is hosting the third annual "Bring-a-Pumpkin-Bigger-Than-Your-Head" pumpkin drive, Oct. 8-18.
