Superheroes, zombies, and princesses unite for conservation! Tickets are on sale now for the 18th annual Boo at the Zoo, a frightfully fun evening for the whole family, hosted by Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ). On October 21, 22 and 23, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., kids and adults alike will enjoy trick-ortreating in the wild setting of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo.
Boo at the Zoo, sponsored by Mars Chocolate NA, features 40 delicious treat stations—mom and dad will enjoy craft beer and coffee treats—after-hours access to animal houses and exhibits, including the Elephant Community Center, Small Mammal House and many more, and animal demonstrations. Dance the night away at the Boo at the Zoo entertainment stage with a DJ spinning Halloween favorites along with magicians, and jugglers. With your favorite chocolates, snacks, and souvenirs, Boo at the Zoo treat bags will be brimming with goodies by the end of the evening.
