Looking for a fun, safe, outdoor event to kick off the holiday season? Join us October 25th from 4:00-6:00 PM at Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center for our Happy Howl-o-ween Celebration!
Guests will trick-or-treat themselves to a self-guided tour of our sanctuary and enjoy family-friendly activities, including:

Each guest will receive a bag for treats and goodies. Family-friendly costumes are highly encouraged – as long as they feature close-toed shoes!
