There's good news for people already in the mood for Halloween who have a hankering to go to the zoo.

Assiniboine Park Conservancy officials said Wednesday that admission will be reduced by 25% to people who visit the zoo in costume from this Friday to Oct. 31. Special Halloween-themed activities, including underwater pumpkin carving by the zoo's aquatic diver, are also planned.

The zoo is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
