The Chattanooga Zoo will present BOO in the ZOO on Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 26 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. each night.

BOO in the ZOO is a non-scary family event celebrating the Halloween season. For one all-inclusive price, guests are welcome to come and enjoy all that this year’s BOO in the ZOO has to offer. From hay rides and face painting, to a scavenger hunt and costume contests, there is much to keep the whole family entertained. 

Included with the new all-inclusive pricing, BOO in the ZOO guests will enjoy watching the animals enjoy their Halloween-themed enrichment, a scavenger hunt throughout the Zoo, a costume contest, trick or treat stations, meeting some of the ambassador animals, and photos with favorite costumed characters. Other event offerings include bounce houses, games, crafts, pony rides, hay rides, animal meet and greets, and more.

BOO in the ZOO all-inclusive pricing is $15 for nonmembers and $10 for zoo members. All children 2 and under are free.

Chattanooga Zoo CEO and President Darde Long said, “BOO in the ZOO is such a fun event for all guests, as well as our staff and volunteers. This event continues to grow each year and we could not be happier. We are hoping for another record breaking turnout this year, and we are thankful for our community’s support.”
