Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden is the perfect place to enjoy a safe family Halloween experience on the evenings of 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 & 28 during Old National Bank Boo at the Zoo. Trick or treat your way through the Zoo visiting candy stations and enjoying craft activities, giant inflatables, a Mad Scientist, murals, face painting, creepy critters, games, AAZAK’s Tent of Terror, and a magician. Dress up in your favorite costume and arrive anytime between 5:00 & 8:00 p.m. Take a peek at creatures of the night in the Zoo’s Nocturnal Exhibit and trek through AMAZONIA. Visitors of all ages will have a frightfully good time, leaving the Zoo with a bag full of goodies.
