Enjoy The Last Weekend For Bronx Zoo’s Boo at the Zoo! #BronxZoo

Disclosure: As a Bronx Zoo Blog Ambassador, I received a family membership in exchange for my participation. All opinions expressed here are always my own.

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.  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 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!

  1. That looks like so much fun, great pictures! We have a Zoo Boo here but it ended this past weekend and it was double the regular price of admission! Our zoo isn’t that big so I opted out this year. 🙁
