Planning to visit Lantern Festival, too? Boo at the Zoo and Lantern Festival are two separate experiences.

🎃 Boo at the Zoo: 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
🏮 Lantern Festival: begins at 7:30 p.m.

Boo at the Zoo ends before Lantern Festival begins, so the two events do not overlap. Lantern Festival requires a separate ticket and is not included with Zoo admission or membership.

🍂 Come for the costumes, stay for the candy, and make some merry-not-scary memories at the Columbus Zoo! Saturdays & Sundays only, Oct. 3-25.
