Boo Things to Do

Enjoy trick-or-treating for kids 11 and under in a storybook atmosphere! Say hello to Mumpkin the Giant Talking Pumpkin. Meet enchanting princesses and popular superheroes. Marvel at hundreds of artistically carved and lit pumpkins. Encounter the legendary Headless Horseman. Come join us for a party that just gets better around every turn!

Boo at the Zoo is rain or shine. Attractions are subject to regular Zoo maintenance and the cooperation of weather and animals. No refunds or exchanges. While you may catch a glimpse of a few party animals, many of our animal residents will not typically be on exhibit in the evenings so they can rest and maintain their regular schedules. See our Frequently Asked Questions.
