Virginia Zoo 3500 Granby Street Norfolk VA 23504, info@virginiazoo.org Price: $8-$18

Bring your favorite pup to the Zoo for a howling good time at Howl-o-ween: Dog Day at the Zoo! Dog lovers and their well-behaved canine companions are invited to explore the Zoo together and enjoy festive Halloween fun. Pups will be treated to new sights, smells, and sounds along side their people while also providing enrichment to the Zoo’s animals. Guests are encouraged to dress their dogs in their best Halloween costumes and enter our dog costume contest for a chance to win prizes.

For the safety and enjoyment of all guests, dogs must be well-trained and current on required vaccinations. Dogs behaving in an unruly or aggressive manner (i.e. excessive barking, growling, lunging, biting, etc.) will be required to leave without a refund.
