Is regular October too humdrum, but haunted houses too creepy-crawly? Come to the Zoo for Halloween activities, amazing animals, and pumpkins galore!
ZooBoo is a fun family experience for itty-bitty ghouls and goblins as well as the bigger kids.
October weather means active animals, colorful foliage, and a new season to explore.
Combine that with engaging, hands-free activities, spooktacular costumes, and trick-or-treating, and you’ve got an unforgettable family tradition. Woo-hoo!
Best of all, ZooBoo is free for Zoo members and included with regular admission.
