Coming Up: Boo at the Zoo

Go wild with both Oakland and SF zoos “boo at the zoo” programs this weekend, October 25 & 26. Here are some details from each:

San Francisco Zoo: Saturday & Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Don’t worry – it won’t be too scary for the tots. Get the kids costumed up for animal encounters, a Haunted Nature Trail, a Creepy Crawley Critters exhibit at the Insect Zoo, a Stomp & Chomp animal program where gorillas, lions, meerkats and others devour pumpkin-filled treats. Plus trick or treating stations throughout the zoo.

Oakland Zoo: Saturday & Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Get set for a spooky scavenger hunt, the “boo choo-choo”, trick or treating, face painting, animal feedings (with pumpkins), help make Halloween treats for the animals, a costume parade led by Roosevelt the Alligator (mascot, not real), and dancing at Flamingo Plaza. And if your kids wear costumes, they’ll get a free rides ticket (excluding the Skyride).
