Boo at the Zoo at Columbian Park Zoo is back and better than ever! Our "spooktacular" event will take place October 18, 19, and 20 from 3:30pm to 7:30pm daily. Your kiddos will enjoy a wide variety of hauntingly friendly kids' games and activities including a costume contest, treat stops, educational experiences, character meet-and-greets, a haunted DJ with kids dance area, concessions, and so much more! The Halloween Train Ride will take you and your children on a not-too-spooky trip through Columbian Park (free with event ticket, weather permitting). The Peterman Brothers "un-haunted hayride" is also back this year by popular demand! That's not all!!! The Wintek (powered by Tipmont) Family Fun Zone will feature inflatable games and obstacle courses. Each ticket holder ages 17 and under will also get to select a pumpkin from our Subaru of Indiana Automotive Pumpkin Patch (while supplies last)!
Columbian Park Zoo is dedicated to providing children and families with an opportunity to celebrate Halloween in a safe and fun environment. Boo at the Zoo will be BURSTING with not-so-scary decorations, music, photo stops, as well as fun Halloween enrichment with the animals that you have come to love at the Columbian Park Zoo!
Tickets are now on sale to the general public for $8 online and $10 at the gate.
