Little Train of Horrors
Hey Hutch, get ready for a spooky good time this Halloween season!
The "Little Train of Horrors" is back at the Zoo for one weekend only, October 24-26. From 6:00 to 8:30 each night, the zoo transforms into a haunted wonderland that’s sure to give you a few goosebumps.
It’s a fun, thrilling train ride that’s perfect for the spooky season. Best of all, it's a fantastic fundraiser supporting our Hutchinson Friends of the Zoo and the talented Hutchinson High School Thespian Club!
A quick heads-up for parents: the ride is pretty spooky, so it might be a little too intense for kids under 5.
Tickets are just $6, and you’ll need to grab them online beforehand. Make sure you get there a few minutes before your ticket time so you don't miss your spot on the train!
