Boo at the Zoo

Boo at the Zoo is a Halloween-themed family event where the Kansas City Zoo transforms into a spooky-but-fun celebration. Kids in costume can trick-or-treat throughout the zoo grounds, enjoy seasonal decorations, and see the animals in a festive atmosphere. It's a perfect way to combine trick-or-treating with animal encounters—less about scares and more about the playful spirit of Halloween. Families should expect crowds, so arriving early and staying hydrated helps. Costumes are encouraged, and little ones get to collect candy while exploring the zoo.
