Zoo Boo makes a return for 35th year, offering frightening, family-friendly fun

The spookiest time of year has now arrived at the Erie Zoo!

Beginning Thursday night, the Erie Zoo will start their 35th year of Zoo Boo.

Families are able to dress up in their favorite costumes while trick-or-treating throughout the zoo and take part in their spooktacular activities.

Each night is complete with a different theme that CEO Roo Kojancie said will be fun for all ages.

“We see people every time come to Zoo Boo every year and it really is rooted in community. We have a community booth in our activity center where local nonprofits can come and have a presence here as well so it really is all about bringing the community together celebrating those family traditions in a fun, spooky, but not too spooky way,” said Kojancie.

Zoo Boo hours have been adjusted this year to 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. and will run through October 30.
