We love visiting the Bronx Zoo and since we have the Family Membership we try to visit as often as possible. We have never had a chance to visit during the Bronx Zoo’s Boo at the Zoo, but after seeing all the fun that they have to offer during this time of the year we will definitely need to make a trip this fall!
Check out below to see all the fun festivities that will be going on during the next five weekends!!!
There is no other venue in the tri-state area that offers as much Halloween fun as the Bronx Zoo's Boo at the Zoo. Festivities run for FIVE weekends beginning Saturday, October 4th in addition to Columbus Day and Halloween. Activities range from a magical illuminated pumpkin walk to costume parades with stilt walkers and giant puppets to musical theater, Broadway show performances, magic, crafts, treat stations and more! Families can also check out our animal exhibits of bats, owls and other winged icons of Halloween. Guests can also embark on a trip back in time with a ride through the Dinosaur Safari before it goes extinct!
