JACK-O-LANTERN CONTEST

 

Carve your best Jack-o-lantern and bring it to the administration center of the zoo by 4:00 PM on Friday, October 25. Entries must be carved, no paint or other embellishments. Pumpkins will be judged by zoo staff and winners will be chosen in each of these categories: scariest, silliest and zoo themed. All entries will be displayed at Boo at the Zoo with prizes for the winners.

 

SATURDAY, OCT 26
SUNDAY, OCT 27

 

Boo at the Zoo is two days of family fun with trick-or-treating in the daytime. Bring your trick-or-treat bag and go booth to booth collecting goodies from vendors from 10:00 a.m - 3:00 p.m. Children and adults are encouraged to wear costumes and celebrate at Niabi's biggest event of the year. Admission tickets can be purchased in advance at the zoo for faster entrance. It's Halloween fun for all.
