Boo at the Zoo

New for 2025 – Two Weekends! Oct. 17-19 and Oct. 24-26

The Zoo’s Halloween activities are a real treat!

• Follow the Trick-or-Treat Trail through Adventure Africa with 6 different sweet spots. (Be sure to bring your own treat bags to gather your goodies, as trick-or-treat bags are not provided.)
• Be dazzled by a light show and not-so-spooky spots like the Candy Corn Farmer’s Market, Pumpkin Park, Haunted Hollow, and more.
• Learn about animals at Halloween-themed conservation connections.
• Stop in for a spell at Mad Science of Milwaukee to enjoy some eerie experiments!
• Open animal buildings include: Aquatic & Reptile Center, Dairy Complex, Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country, Primates of the World, and Sterns Family Apes of Africa. For their health and safety, outdoor animals are not viewable.
• Eat, drink, and be scary! A variety of food and beverages will be available for purchase.
• See if you can make your way through our creatively-crafted Harvest Haystack Maze.
• It’ll be a “boo-tiful” night for Halloween entertainment with our stilt walkers!
• Stroll through hundreds of carved pumpkins at the Gourd Gallery.
• Plus more to come!
