Sensory-Friendly Nights at Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular

October 21 and October 22, 5-6 PM
Roger Williams Park Zoo

Join us for a special sensory-friendly Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular an hour before the trail opens to the public: designed for those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and sensory processing differences and their families on October 21 & October 22 from 5:00 – 6:00 pm. For maximum enjoyment, the over 5000 pumpkins will light up the Zoo’s Wetlands Trail, but there will be no music or special effects. We recommend that you and your family arrive early to enjoy the experience for as long as you can, as the music and lights will turn on promptly at 6:00 pm.

Please Note: Tickets for this hour are only available IN PERSON at the Zoo’s admissions booth the evening of the event. Ticket prices are $16 for adults; $13 for children (ages 2-12); toddlers 1 and under are always free.

Sponsored by ABA Centers of Rhode Island

THANK YOU to everyone who made Rosé in the Roses so memorable! Last Thursday, we celebrated the Conservancy and community, while giving a bittersweet send-off to RWPC’s outgoing board chair, Joe Pari.

Shout-out to @theprovidencedrumtroupe and @thesoundofgravity for filling the Botanical Center with magical sights and sounds – we can’t be the only ones still humming Pink Pony Club, right? 🤩 And to talented musicians Ashley Frith and @luisgilbertord for serenading guests throughout the night!

Stay tuned for a part-2 recap highlighting the rest of our amazing vendors and sponsors who made this year’s event one for the books!
