Live the Good Life for Less & Never Miss a Deal

Fallapalooza at Tanganyika Deal 2025

Fallapalooza at Tanganyika Wildlife Park is a Fall Event You Can’t Miss (For Just $20!). If you’re on the lookout for a Fall Event that’s fun, festive, and a deal, Tanganyika Wildlife Park’s Fallapalooza should be at the top of your list.

Compared to Tanganyika’s regular all-inclusive single-day admission, which *starts at $99.99 in the spring and fall, Fallapalooza’s ticket price of $20 a ticket is a big bargain at about one-fifth the usual price, and it still includes great Fall Activities and, of course, the animals.

*but remember locals get 40% off general admission (not including events)

Costumes are encouraged at Fallapalooza, which makes the day even more fun for kids and families. Dressing up adds a festive twist to your outdoor adventure. You might see little superheroes feeding giraffes, princesses petting kangaroos, or families in matching fall-themed outfits enjoying the games. It’s a great chance to snap memorable photos, get into the autumn spirit, and let kids show off their creativity while exploring Tanganyika.
