It’s the spooky season in New York City. That means crisp autumn air and brightly lit, carved pumpkins. And the Bronx Zoo is lighting up the night too with Harvest Glow. Kids (and grown-ups) can watch live pumpkin carving, join in on Wildlife Theater fun, play new family games, and even help bring a glow mural to life. Plus, local food trucks will have seasonal treats to keep the night festive and delicious.
