"This year's theme celebrates the art of the pun, with thousands of hand-carved pumpkins bringing witty wordplay to life through pop culture references, playful characters and pun-believable scenes," the zoo said in a post on its website.

"From clever one-liners to delightfully cheesy dad jokes, there's something to make every guest grin as they stroll The Great Pun-Kin Trail, where over 5,000 glowing jack-o'-lanterns transform the Zoo into New England's premier fall experience," the post said.

Tickets are timed, available online only and must be purchased in advance.

Nightly parking is free and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Optional premium parking is also available.
