Boo at the Zoo (2026)

Boo at the Zoo is a family-friendly Halloween celebration that's been a Louisville tradition for over 40 years. Kids eleven and under can enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the zoo grounds, along with rides and special attractions—all included in one admission price. The event is designed to capture the fun and festive spirit of Halloween while keeping things lighthearted and not scary, making it perfect for younger children and families who want a gentler take on the season. The zoo offers this event on select October nights, with special accommodations available. There's a sensory-friendly night featuring peanut-free treat options and non-food prizes like stickers and tattoos, as well as an allergy-friendly night with similar accommodations. One admission covers all the activities, making it an easy way to experience seasonal fun at the zoo without worrying about separate costs for different attractions.
