Boo at the Zoo

Boo at the Zoo brings Halloween fun to the Louisville Zoo with a family-friendly twist. Children 11 and under can enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the zoo grounds, plus rides and special attractions, all included in one admission price. Running for over 40 years, this event has become a beloved local tradition that delivers festive Halloween spirit without the scares—perfect if your kids love the holiday's fun side but aren't ready for anything spooky. The event runs from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., giving families an evening of activities in a familiar, safe setting. Whether your children are costume enthusiasts or just excited about collecting treats, this outing combines the joy of trick-or-treating with the zoo experience. It's a great way to celebrate the season while exploring the grounds in a different atmosphere than a typical daytime visit.
