Boo at the Zoo (2026)

Bring the kids to this long-standing Louisville Halloween tradition, where the fun focuses on family enjoyment rather than scares. Boo at the Zoo welcomes children 11 and under to enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the zoo grounds, along with rides and special attractions. Everything is bundled into a single admission price, making it an easy night out for families looking to celebrate the season in a festive, kid-friendly environment. The event has been a local favorite for over 40 years, giving parents confidence in what to expect. If your child has sensory sensitivities or food allergies, special nights are offered featuring peanut-free treat stations and alternative rewards like stickers, tattoos, and pencils alongside traditional candy. It's a great way to let younger kids experience Halloween excitement in a safe, contained setting.
