2024 Annual Big Pumpkin Toss
Every Saturday and Sunday in October and November at 2PM
Starting in October and running through November, join us every Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. for our Annual Big Pumpkin Toss!
Come watch as the big cats carve their donated pumpkins, and the bears enjoy them too! Many of our animals love to play with pumpkins—whether they’re rolling around, eating, or even carving them! It’s a wild experience you won’t want to miss.
Help us make this fall favorite possible by donating pumpkins! We’ll be accepting pumpkin donations every day that we're open, Friday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in October and November.
No extra charge—just your general admission gives you access to all the fun!
Bring the family and enjoy the Great Pumpkin Toss this fall!
