Zoombezi Bay Has Transformed Into ZOMBIEzi Bay

Things will be getting a little spooky at Zoombezi Bay this year.

Zoombezi Bay has transformed into ZOMBIEzi Bay, where chills and thrills await around every corner.

The zombified park will be open from 6 p.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursdays and Sundays throughout October. Tickets aren’t included in regular zoo admission and you can see pricing right here.

While visiting this zombified version of Zoombezi Bay, guests should expect to be scared not only inside the haunted houses, but also while roaming the park pathways. There will be strobe lights, loud sounds and music, and fog, so guests who are sensitive to those things should be aware.

So what will the attractions look like at ZOMBIEzi Bay? There are haunts, scare zones, rides, and more.

HAUNTS

Catacombs
Welcome to the Catacombs! Visit the realm of the undead and the corpse-laden corridors of those who came before you. The spirits have awakened, and they are hungry. Will you be their next meal? Or, will they summon you to join them in their eternal party?

Eternal Darkness
Are you afraid of the dark? You will be after an encounter with the Eternal Darkness—if you make it out alive, that is. The netherworld has come to life in this near pitch-black experience. Can you find your way out before it is too late?

Pleasant Screams
Enter the mysterious research facility known as Pleasant Dreams Laboratory, a world-famous sleep study facility…or is it? For years, locals have whispered that something else occurs at this foreboding site. Genetic testing? Mind manipulation? Take a tour of the Laboratory and come face-to-face with your worst nightmares.

Sinister Sideshow
Step right up and enter the Sinister Sideshow! Don your 3D glasses and check out the sideshow. It is fun for all ages, and they are looking for new victims! Evil clowns and blood-curdling acts all under the Big Top…what could go wrong?

SCARE ZONES

Photosynthesis
Did you know that when plants die, they don’t really die? In Photosynthesis, Mother Nature is hungry and out for revenge. Will you escape or be the next meal? They didn’t teach us this in science class.

Dead River
Zombies have descended upon the town of Dead River, Ohio, leaving destruction in their wake. Can you survive the undead, or will you become a permanent resident of this town?

Decomposed
Life as we know it has ended and zombies now rule the world. Can you escape the horde, or will you become one of the undead?
