Come See the Original Creatures of the Night!

It’ll be all treats and no tricks (except the magical kind!) for your little ghosts and goblins at this year’s Boo at the Zoo, the region’s most exclusive Halloween party. The event is a fun way for families with young children to trick-or-treat and enjoy Halloween festivities in a safe and unique environment. All treats are orangutan-friendly too!
