Boo at the Zoo (2026)

Boo at the Zoo brings Halloween fun to the Louisville Zoo with activities designed to keep things festive rather than frightening. Kids 11 and under can enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the zoo grounds, plus rides and special attractions. Everything is bundled into one admission price, making it an easy outing for families looking for a traditional Halloween experience without the scares. This zoo tradition has been running strong for over 40 years, so it's a well-established favorite among Louisville families. The event runs select nights in October, giving you flexibility to choose when works best for your schedule. If your family has sensory sensitivities or food allergies, the zoo also offers dedicated nights with peanut-free treat stations and non-food alternatives like stickers, tattoos, and pencils.
