NEW PARTY, NEW NAME!
Special Ticket Required. A Louisville tradition for over 35 years, Halloween transforms your Zoo into a living storybook, complete with some of your favorite characters brought to life, fun music and a safe place for trick-or-treating for kids 11 and under. This year, we’re celebrating with a new party experience designed to give you all the kooky you love with none of the spooky.
ALL THE FUN FOR ONE GREAT PRICE
- Enjoy a spin on the Spooktacular Carousel.
- Get up close to REAL creepy crawlies at the walk-through, free-crawling “not-so-itsy-bitsy” Spider House.
- Hear the legendary tale of the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow
- All included with your party admission!
Our reduced nightly capacity eliminates the scary traffic delays when arriving for the party. Parking is easy and convenient in the Zoo’s lot and FREE for party guests!
A SAFE TRICK-OR-TREATING EXPERIENCE
Get your same sweet treats with fewer stops along the way. To help provide social distancing and to reduce contact, there will be a limited number of treat booths throughout the Zoo. This year, rather than receiving one treat per booth, kids 11 and under will receive a pre-packaged goodie bag with multiple treats at each station! Treats will be handed out by Zoo staff members.
All staff members undergo a daily health screening and will be wearing masks throughout the party. Staff distributing treats will also be wearing gloves. In an abundance of caution and to help prevent the spread of Covid-19, crowd size at Boo at the Zoo will be reduced.
