Boo at the Zoo (2026)

Boo at the Zoo brings Halloween fun to the Louisville Zoo with activities designed for younger children. Kids 11 and under can enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the zoo grounds, along with rides and special attractions—all included in one admission price. This long-running tradition focuses on festive family enjoyment without the scary elements that might overwhelm little ones. The event runs select evenings in October, giving families multiple chances to attend. If your child has sensory sensitivities or food allergies, the zoo offers dedicated nights with peanut-free treat stations and alternative rewards like stickers, tattoos, and pencils instead of candy. This event is perfect for families wanting a Halloween celebration that's inclusive and fun for kids of all comfort levels.
