Every year, the Great Plains Zoo thrills children and adults alike with the Halloween extravaganza – Zoo Boo! This year, Zoo Boo 2007 promises to be a spooktacular evening, with more treats, more fun, and more surprises than ever! This year, Zoo Boo will again be three big nights, Friday and Saturday, October 26th & 27th from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, October 28th from 3:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
“Zoo Boo is a safe, fun way for families to celebrate Halloween,” said Zoo President and CEO Elizabeth Whealy. “The Zoo provides a great atmosphere and Zoo staff and our sponsors do a fantastic job of making sure everyone gets more than enough treats. If you have one family Halloween tradition, it should be going to Zoo Boo!” Whealy added.
Over 300 hand-carved Jack-o-Lanterns will illuminate the night pathways as you stroll through Zoo grounds gathering treats along the way. Visit the ever-popular “Hall of Flame” and the community sponsored Treat Tents, plus find new tricks and treats throughout the Zoo.
