Boo at the Zoo has been well underway at the Columbus Zoo! And for the first time, the Zoo has extended the Boo at the Zoo for a third weekend and they are thrilled with the feedback!!

You can bring the whole family to the “merry-not-scary” Halloween event of heroic proportions. Special regions within the Zoo are decorated for Halloween.

This weekend is your last chance to get a double dose of trick-or-treating and see the park transformed for fall!

“The candy stops are the best,” noted Ashley Dolnack, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s Experiential Logistics Coordinator. “The people are here and get some of the early trick-or-treat fun in.”

“Best thing to do is stop at the “Boo Central” tent when you walk in and you can pick up an event guide and treat bag,” Dolnack continued.

The remaining dates to enjoy the fun are October 25th – 27th!
