Spooky season is officially here and we that means North Shore Bank Zoo Boo is coming! Join us for family-friendly, spooktacular fun on Fridays from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. throughout the month of October on the following dates: October 10^th, 11^th, 17^th, 18^th, 24^th, and 25^th.

North Shore Bank Zoo Boo is an annual Halloween tradition you won’t want to miss. Adults and kids alike are encouraged to wear your costumes and bring your trick-or-treat bags to collect candy as you stop at the many Treat and Activity Stations around the Zoo. Kids can play games and spend some time in the bounce house before or after you see the animals and enjoy all the amazing decorations. In fact, North Shore Bank Zoo Boo features the largest collection of skeleton scene displays in the area! While you’re looking at the decorations, you’ll want to play the Zoo Boo Skeleton Safari game to find our fan-favorite skeletons (like the Scary Fairy Queen and Terror Swift!) making mischief around the zoo. Complete the scavenger hunt, then stop by the Prize Table before you leave so kids can choose a prize just for playing. Of course, for the bravest zoo guests – you’ll want to take a walk (or two or three!) through the Haunted Zoo Zone – if you dare!

Tickets for North Shore Bank Zoo Boo are $15 each (kids under 3 are free) or $20 each for a Combo Zoo Boo + Canopy Tour Ticket. Combo tickets allow you to enjoy all the fun of North Shore Bank Zoo Boo PLUS a walk on the Neil Anderson Canopy Tour, where you can enjoy even more decorations and Halloween-themed fun! Zoo gates close 30 minutes prior to the event end time and the Canopy Tour’s last departure will be at 7:00 p.m. on Fridays and 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, so plan ahead to give yourself enough time to enjoy both experiences. Zoo Pass Members receive a 20% discount that will automatically apply to your online shopping cart when you’re logged into your membership account. Instructions for accessing your account are found online at newzoo.org.

Please note: The NEW Zoo will close at 3:00 p.m. on Zoo Boo Fridays and 1:00 p.m. on Zoo Boo Saturdays so we can prepare for the event.
