Boo at the El Paso Zoo: Low-Key Spooky Halloween Fun Returns in October

We’re starting to get word about upcoming Halloween events, and one of those yearly happenings geared towards ghouls and goblins of all ages that's returning is Boo at the Zoo.

The El Paso Zoo says it will be hosting its popular October celebration the weekend before Halloween.

Wildest Halloween Fun in Town

For two fun-filled afternoons, the zoo will once again transform into the wildest trick-or-treat spot in town with a dozen candy stations and all kinds of slightly spooky family fun.

Kids 12 and under can trick or treat in a safe environment while partaking in various children's games and activities, and watching animals enjoy a Halloween treat of their own, according to the event post.

A detailed list of activities and entertainment is still pending and will be announced in the coming weeks, but if it’s anything like last year it’s going to be a fun-filled day of animal encounters, costumed activities, and frightfully delightful decorations.

Be sure you save the dates: Saturday, October 22, and Sunday October 23, 2022.

In addition to all the Halloween activities going on, the zoo's family attractions such as the splash pad, Tree House Playground, and the Endangered Species Carousel will be available for the little ghouls and goblins to ride, jump, and play in.

As always, Halloween costume wearing by all attendees will not only be allowed, it's encouraged.
