We are the largest family oriented Halloween in the tri-county region with between 4,000 and 6,000 visitors annually. Please see our sponsorship chart for more details.

Boo at the Zoo is a "very merry, not too scary," family-friendly, safe, traffic-free, trick-or-treating alternative. Designed for families with children under age 12.
