Mesker Park Zoo Kicks off Annual Boo at the Zoo

 It’s a night full of tricks and treats in a safe atmosphere for families.

Dozens of little ones and their parents crowd the Mesker Park Zoo for the kick off of the annual Boo at the Zoo event.

Kids got dressed up in their favorite costumes, and ate all their favorite candy.

But, it your kid can’t have a certain food or has a food allergy there’s still something for them.

This is the first year the zoo is participating in the Teal Pumpkin Project.

“A lot of families have children with allergies and Halloween can be a tough time for them so this year,” said Kelley Weis, Mesker Park Zoo Executive Director. “We’ve made a really big effort to try to have non food items at every station so that the kids can enjoy it without having to worry about it.”

Boo at the Zoo runs Oct. 21-23 & 28-30; Fri & Sat. from 5-8pm, Sun. 3-6pm.
