Zoo Goes Boo is back and bigger than ever! Watch as the Zoo transforms into the ultimate Halloween destination decked out with decorations, twisted treat stations, and of course, amazing animals! There will be fire performers, magicians, jugglers, stilt walkers, themed music, and more. Even your favorite villains can’t stay away! This is a can’t miss trick-or-treating event for families!
Thirteen twisted treat stations will be scatted throughout the zoo featuring a variety of Halloween treats. Trick-or-Treaters are encouraged to bring a bag for candy. Allergy-friendly options will also be available, just look for booths with teal pumpkins and ask for a special token. Tokens can be redeemed for allergy-friendly options at a specialty booth.
Get in the Halloween spirit, we want to see your best costumes. Dressing up isn’t just for the kids, costumes for all are encouraged! Don’t have a costume? No problem! Choose from a variety of festive face painting designs.
Zoo Goes Boo, your place for spooky kooky fun for the whole family!
*Please note, character rotations occur throughout the day; due to breaks specific character meetings are not guaranteed.
Attending events at John Ball Zoo makes for an unforgettable experience where your money also supports wildlife conservation around the world and right here in West Michigan.
