Zoo Says BOO!
“Boo at the L.A. Zoo” fun takes place October 1-27 at the Los Angeles Zoo. Jack-o-lantern-carving demonstrations, strolling characters, entertainment and up-close encounters with “crawly” insects and reptiles are just some of the Halloween family adventures for visitors. Trick-or-treating will take place the weekends of Oct. 19-20 and 26-27.
A Halloween “spooky stroll” and mystery maze will be featured, while weekends include a puppet show, a science show, pumpkin carving, animal feedings, up-close encounters with some of the Zoo’s smaller residents and other family adventures. Programming is subject to change.
A special “Boo” Creature Campout is offered Oct. 26-27 with themed activities, ghost stories and family activities (did we mention the Zoo is haunted?); additional fees required.
Check lazoo.org for daily activities, which are free with paid Zoo admission. Zoo admission is $22 for general admission (ages 13 to 61); $19 for seniors (ages 62+); and $17 for children (ages 2 to 12). No ticket is required for children under two.
