Additional Information
ZooBoo is a walk-thru event that takes place during regular daytime operation. No additional ticket is required.
Daytime guests will pass lanterns for the Asian Lantern Festival during their visit. To see illuminated lanterns on display with cultural activities at night, guests may like to additionally purchase tickets to the Asian Lantern Festival, a separate event.
Guests of all ages may dress in their favorite costume, though Zoo staff may ask guests to modify costumes for safety. Costumes should enable safe movement through the Zoo, and teens and adults should not wear masks that fully cover their faces.
