Boo at the Zoo (2026)

Boo at the Zoo is a Halloween celebration that's been a Louisville tradition for over 40 years. Kids 11 and under can enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the zoo, plus rides and special attractions—all included in one admission price. The event is designed to deliver all the fun of the season while keeping things family-friendly and not scary. Everything you need for a festive evening is bundled into a single ticket, so you won't need to budget for separate activities. Whether your family is new to the event or returning for another year, this is a straightforward way to spend an October evening at the zoo with plenty for younger children to do.
