Boo at the Zoo (2026)

Boo at the Zoo is a family-friendly Halloween celebration at the Louisville Zoo designed with young kids in mind. Children 11 and under can enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the grounds, ride attractions, and special activities—all included in one admission price. A Louisville tradition spanning over 40 years, this event emphasizes festive fun without the frightening elements, so families can enjoy the holiday spirit together in a comfortable setting. The event runs select evenings throughout October, with extended hours into the evening. The Zoo also offers specialty nights to accommodate different family needs, including a sensory-friendly option and an allergy-friendly night, both featuring peanut-free treats and alternative non-food giveaways like stickers and temporary tattoos. Everything you need for a complete outing is available at one convenient location and price.
