Boo at the Zoo

October 25 - October 30, 2007
6 - 8:30 p.m.

That's not the wind howling ... it's all the "spooktacular" fun you'll find at Fort Worth Zoo's 16th Annual Boo at the Zoo. Boo at the Zoo is a safe, family-friendly fall event held at the Fort Worth Zoo for six wild nights. Guests take home a bag of treats, but ours is no ordinary Halloween party. When the clock strikes 6, the Zoo grounds turn into a haven of happy trails, pumpkin patches and wonderful webs that only a superhero could weave. Some of the scheduled activities include:

  • Carnival games
  • Special guest story readers during scheduled book walks
  • Professional pumpkin carvings
  • Hay maze
  • More than 10 treat stations
  • Play areas for the little ghouls
The Fort Worth Zoo has planned all new entertainment for this year's event, including a children's variety show, Pira-cats of the Caribbean, a marionette puppet show, and most importantly, live animals (after all, this is Boo at the ZOO!) So put on your costumes and come out for a howling good time!
