Boo at the Zoo (2026)

Boo at the Zoo brings Halloween fun to the Louisville Zoo with activities designed to keep the celebration playful rather than frightening. Families with children 11 and under can enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the grounds, along with rides and special attractions—all included with one admission price. This beloved local tradition has been running for over 40 years, making it a familiar favorite for many families in the area. The event runs select nights in October, so you'll want to check the zoo's calendar for specific dates. If your family has sensory sensitivities or food allergies, special nights are scheduled with peanut-free treat stations and alternative non-food items like stickers, tattoos, and pencils available. This thoughtful approach helps ensure that all children can participate comfortably and enjoy the evening together.
