Boo at the Zoo

No tricks, all treats! Put on your costume, grab a candy bag and head to the zoo for this extraordinary Halloween experience, presented by Acme Fresh Market.

Treaters will visit 12 different themed stations around the zoo to collect treats. Anyone is welcome to buy a treater ticket, and we have allergen friendly options at each station!
