There’s ONE thing the McClelland Family does every single Halloween time… we head to Roger Williams Park Zoo for the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular!

It is, hands down… incredible!  All my sons love it.  My husband loves it.  And I am head-over-heels for it!

It’s an amazing experience with a night time display of 5,000 illuminated jack-o-lanterns all along Roger Williams Park Zoo beautiful wetland trail.

This year’s Spectacular, titled “All the World’s a Stage,” features scenes from iconic and popular movies, Broadway hits and television series. Another section pays homage to man’s best friend with an array of carved pumpkins conveying the amazing variety of dog species. In addition, the night wouldn’t be complete without the annual Halloween scene and the kids section filled with childhood favorites. The climax, as always, is the incredible Laughing Tree display comprised of hundreds of pumpkins of every size and the distinctive “laughing” music.

We got to the Zoo around 5PM, just to get in line and get ready to see the SPECTACULAR sights!

(I even dressed in an orange jacket!)

And away we went into the SPECTACULAR! The carvings are simple extraordinary!

Such a delight!

Such wonderment!

Can’t wait for next year!
