This year’s Zoo Goes Boo will be a little different in order to comply with the recent Halloween guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). To keep everyone safe, there will be a treat trail lined with decorated booths that are socially distanced from one another. This will allow for a one-way treat trail and fewer groups of guests congregating. The treat booths will also have plexiglass between guests and staff, along with enhanced sanitization for hands and surfaces.

Like the rest of our 2020 season, we will continue with enhanced health and safety measures including limited capacity and date-specific timed entries. Entertainment will be limited because of the need for guests to safely social distance and not congregate in large groups.

Don’t forget! In addition to bringing a mask, we ask that guests please bring their own reusable treat bags or purchase one from the gift shop.

Health masks are required indoors for anyone ages 5 and over, and also outside when a 6’ distance is not possible between other guests. You can have fun with it and decorate a health mask to match your costume.

Reserve your timed ticket today to join in the Bootastic fun!
