Boo at the Zoo, features family-friendly activities including a Trick-or-Treat Trail, live pumpkin-carving demos, light shows, Creatures of the Night animal talks, plus much more!

- Take a walk on the Trick-or-Treat Trail through Adventure Africa with six stops. (Be sure to bring your own treat bags to gather your goodies, as trick-or-treat bags are not provided.)
