Are you looking for a Halloween destination that’s all fun, and no fright? The Detroit Zoo’s “Zoo Boo” is the place for you. The “merry-not-scary” event is sure to bring Halloween excitement to your entire family!
Held the first three weekends in October, “Zoo Boo” offers a festive selection of fun Halloween attractions. Live entertainment acts include daring acrobatics, magic acts, live music, extreme pumpkin carving demonstrations, and more.
Guests of all ages are invited to wear their costumes and collect sweets by trick-or-treating along the pumpkin-lined “unlucky” 13-station trick-or-treat trail. Join the Detroit Zoo on their Green Journey by bringing your own trick-or-treat bag; bags will not be handed out at the event.
