Zoo Boo presented by Meijer is the Detroit Zoo’s annual family-friendly Halloween event. Zoo Boo is a merry not scary Halloween celebration with a cleverly decorated half-mile trick-or-treat trail through the Zoo. Live, friendly entertainment awaits your costume-clad little ones in the Zoo Boo Revue tent, and they will be delighted to try their luck in the Ghouly Games tent, sponsored by Blue Care Network! Be sure to stop by the Haunted Reptile House and visit the ghosts and goblins who have made the Reptile House their home for the holiday season and take a ride on the new Wild Adventure Ride, Dracula’s Haunted Castle (additional $2 per person), sponsored by State Farm.

Members can purchase their tickets starting Tuesday, September 2, at Guest Relations and at Window 1 at the front of the Zoo, or purchase tickets online. General public tickets go on sale October 1 at the front of the Zoo and on the website. Tickets are $6 for ages 2 and up. If a date and time slot is not sold out, a limited number of tickets will be available at the gate after 5 p.m. that day for $10 per person.
