Zoo Goes Boo 👻

Members Only | 9AM – 10AM
General Admission | 10AM – 5PM

Practice your cackle, grab your cloak and prepare for a ghoulishly good time collecting sweets at twisted treat stations, an endless supply of animal fun, and enchanting decorations. Immerse yourself in otherworldly entertainment like magicians, fire performers, jugglers, villains and more! A wickedly fun family tradition.

Thirteen twisted treat stations will be scatted throughout the zoo featuring a variety of Halloween treats. Trick-or-Treaters are encouraged to bring a bag for candy. Allergy-friendly options will also be available, just look for booths with teal pumpkins and ask for a special token. Tokens can be redeemed for allergy-friendly options at a specialty booth.

Get in the Halloween spirit, we want to see your best costumes. Dressing up isn’t just for the kids, costumes for all are encouraged! Don’t have a costume? No problem! Choose from a variety of festive face painting designs.
