Boo at the Zoo (2026)

Bring your younger kids to this beloved Louisville tradition for a Halloween celebration that focuses on fun rather than frights. Boo at the Zoo offers trick-or-treating designed for children 11 and under, along with rides and special attractions throughout the zoo grounds. Everything is included in one admission price, making it an easy way to spend an October evening as a family. This event has been a community favorite for over 40 years, so you can expect crowds and festive energy. The zoo also offers two specialty nights if your family has specific needs: a sensory-friendly night and an allergy-friendly night, both featuring peanut-free treat options plus non-food prizes like stickers, tattoos, and pencils. Check the zoo's website for ticket information and to plan which night works best for your family.
