Boo at the Zoo 2026 – Sensory Friendly Night

This special evening gives kids and families a chance to enjoy trick-or-treating in a calmer setting. The Zoo will have reduced lighting and lower music levels, plus smaller crowds—making it easier for children who find typical Halloween events overwhelming or overstimulating. It's a thoughtful alternative for families seeking a gentler celebration. Treat stations throughout the event are peanut-free, and in addition to candy alternatives, kids can collect non-food prizes like stickers, temporary tattoos, and pencils. Since ticket quantities are limited, parents should purchase early to guarantee a spot for their family. The event runs from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, giving families a comfortable window to participate at their own pace.
