Boo at the Zoo Kicks off Oct. 15
Boo at the Zoo at the Akron Zoo will run Saturdays and Sundays -- Oct. 15-16, 22-23 and 29-30 -- from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Guests can wear a Halloween costume and trick-or-treat at 12 decorated treat stations. Anyone of any age may dress in costume; but adults are prohibited from covering their faces with costume masks, mascot heads or face paint. For those with food allergies, you may request a Teal Pumpkin treat at each station to receive a non-food item. A Zoothing Boo will be offered on Oct. 29 at 9:30 a.m. During this time, guests with different abilities will trick-or-treat without loud noises and crowds before the zoo opens for Boo at the Zoo. Tickets for this special time are separate from general admission, and a limited number are available to help control crowd sizes. Online tickets are $13 for trick-or-treaters, $10 for non-member observers, and $3 for parking or shuttle. If you purchase tickets at the zoo ticket counter, the prices are $15, $12 and $5. Akron Zoo member observers are free both online and at the ticket counter, but they do require a ticket. Infants under two years of age who do not participate in trick-or-treat are also free.
