Celebrate the spooktacular with ZooBoo, our annual kid-friendly Halloween event. Enjoy safe daytime trick-or-treat throughout the Zoo, collecting treats and supporting local businesses at this daytime family favorite event.  Enjoy giveaways and meet some of your favorite characters. Show off your costumes in our Halloween parade, dance, and costume contest. Be sure to check out our animals enjoying Halloween treats throughout the park.

ZooBoo is a walk-thru event that takes place during regular daytime operation. No additional ticket is required; trick-or-treating is included with your visit from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Guests of all ages are welcome to 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.
