Boo at the Zoo (2026)

Boo at the Zoo is a family-friendly Halloween celebration at the Louisville Zoo that welcomes children 11 and under to enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the grounds. The event also features rides and special attractions, all included in one admission price. As a Louisville tradition spanning over 40 years, this party is designed to deliver festive fun without the frightening elements, making it a comfortable choice for families with younger children. The event runs select nights in October, with special accommodations available. A sensory-friendly night offers peanut-free treat booths plus non-food items like stickers, tattoos, and pencils for children with sensory sensitivities. An allergy-friendly night provides the same thoughtful alternatives. Whether your family is looking for classic Halloween activities or needs a more accommodating experience, this Zoo event brings together seasonal celebration with animal encounters in one outing.
