Boo at the Zoo

The National Zoo in Washington, D.C., is celebrating Halloween, too.

Boo at the Zoo is the wildest trick-or-treat in town! Disney princesses, Spidermans, Harry Potters, and other costumed guests are invited to join us at the seventh annual Boo at the Zoo, a safe and fun way for families with children ages 2 to 12 to enjoy the fall holiday. We'll have the traditional spiders, owls, and other animals on hand every day. Plus the Zoo's traffic-free walkways and many animal houses will make trick-or-treating a kid-friendly activity. Costumed volunteers will hand out candy, snack foods, and other special treats at more than 40 treat stations. Animal encounters, keeper talks, festive decorations, and haunted trails round out this exciting extravaganza.

Ticket prices are a bit scary: $13 for FONZ members and $23 for nonmembers ($3 off coupons available at Whole Food). Boo at the Zoo is from October 28-30 between 5:30-8:30 p.m.
