2025 Pumpkin Donation

2025 Pumpkin Donation

Donate Your Halloween Pumpkins

Drop Off Only, Now Through Tuesday, November 14, 10 a.m.-12 p.m.

We appreciate our community’s interest in reusing and repurposing pumpkins! The pumpkins are a great source of enrichment for a wide variety of Zoo animals, like goats, African elephants, and more, encouraging them to engage in natural behaviors and, for some animals, have a tasty snack.

Here are a few guidelines:

  • Pumpkins should be uncarved. 

  • Pumpkins should have no rotten spots or cracks. 

  • Pumpkins should not have any painting or markings.

We accept any size pumpkin. To donate yours, please fill out the survey linked below. A Nutrition team member will reach out directly with drop off details.
