ZooBoo offers Family Friendly Halloween Festival October 22-23, 28-30
A Fang-tastic Time at Como
For over 20 years, ZooBoo has offered a family friendly, non-scary environment to celebrate Halloween. Como Zoo’s grounds are transformed into a storybook paradise where flowers can talk, pirates offer hugs and the tigers can dance. This year’s spooktacular fundraiser is scheduled the weekends of October 22-23 and 28-30. Gates are open from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. each evening.
ZooBoo is a family-friendly, five-night adventure that is sure to delight all mummy’s little monsters. Guests follow a boooo-tiful trick-or-treat path, stopping at special themed stations while over 200 costumed characters entertain and interact with all the little ghosts and goblins along the way. Highlights include trick-or-treating at approximately ten treat stations, pumpkin bowling, craft activities and lots of surprises. Make no bones about it, this magical event offers families a safe, fun trick-or-treating alternative, so bring all your ghoul friends & come as you aren’t.
We encourage ZooBoo guests to use our free park and ride shuttle service during ZooBoo. The park and ride lot is a MN State Fair lot located on the south side of Como Avenue across from the State Fair’s Warner Coliseum. The shuttle runs from approximately 4-8:15pm each evening.
Advance tickets for the ZooBoo are $6 and available at Como’s Garden Safari Gifts and online at www.comozooconservatory.org. Tickets may also be purchased at the gate each evening for $7. Tickets are good for any night of the event. All attendees must have a ticket, including adults. Children under 2 are free.
ZooBoo is held rain or shine. Guests are encouraged to bring their own trick-or-treat bag. For more information call 651-487-8226 or visit www.comozooconservatory.org.
Proceeds from ZooBoo benefit two of Minnesota’s most treasured year-round attractions, Como Zoo and Marjorie McNeely Conservatory. ZooBoo is a production of the Como Friends.
