Boo at the Zoo, a favorite annual attraction for Little Rock families, opens this weekend at the Little Rock Zoo! The proceeds of the Halloween event help to fund the zoo's daily operations and carry out the mission of conservation education and wildlife preservation.

Boo at the Zoo offers a safe environment for families, where children can trick-or-treat, hop on carnival rides or bounce in inflatable attractions. Visitors can check out the Enchanted Forest, bust a move at Frankenstein's Dance Party and brave a kid-friendly haunted house. Plus, don't miss the nightly dance performances and food truck concessions.

And, on Nov. 1, the festival honors the Mexican Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, tradition with a special celebration.

The fun kicks off this Friday, Oct. 17 with an adult-only night. The Little Rock Zoo will be closed Saturday, Oct. 18 for the Razorbacks game at War Memorial Stadium, and Boo at the Zoo officially begins Sunday, Oct. 19, and runs Oct. 24-Nov. 1.

General admission is $10 per person and includes 6 tickets to be used for trick-or-treat stations, rides or attractions. All-inclusive wristband admission is $20 per person and includes unlimited rides and attractions (except food and fortune-telling), plus 6 tickets for trick-or-treat stations.
