Boo at the Zoo (2026)

Boo at the Zoo brings Halloween festivities to the Louisville Zoo with activities designed for families who want the fun without the fright. Kids 11 and under can enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the zoo grounds, along with rides and special attractions—all included in one admission price. This beloved local tradition has been entertaining families for over 40 years, striking that perfect balance between spooky and silly. If your family has sensory sensitivities or food allergies, the zoo offers specialized event nights with peanut-free treat options and non-food giveaways like stickers, tattoos, and pencils. These accommodations make it easier for all children to participate and enjoy the celebration at their own comfort level. Check the zoo's website for current ticket pricing and to plan which night works best for your family.
