Boo at LA Zoo

At this time of the year we see too many Halloween themed events happening around the city. I found out about a great one happening at The LA Zoo. You can engage in some fang-tastic fun and spooktacular learning opportunities. Boo at LA Zo=is an annual event that transforms the Los Angeles Zoo during Halloween season with fun seasonal activities for the kids

​When we got the invite for the media day, we were so excited. I told my friend to go with us because her son loves all animals and he really enjoys Los Angeles Zoo.

​BOO AT THE L.A. ZOO activities are free with paid Zoo admission. During the week zoo visitors can enjoy daily activities, including a mini pumpkin patch, Halloween games and sweet-and-spooky photo ops.  You can also get up close and personal with some of the zoo's scaly, slithery creatures at “"Animals and Boo" encounters, which take place 10:45am and 11:45am weekdays (with an extra show at 12:45pm on weekends).  The Boo Bird show's special Halloween edition looks at owls and vultures.

On weekends, the fun expands to include "Swazzle’s Monster Menagerie" interactive puppet show at 11:30am and 1:30pm, and Gene Granata of Masterpiece Pumpkins showing off his magical pumpkin-carving skills from 10am to 4pm. Spooktacular Science Show offers a peek inside a mad scientist’s bustling lab,(3pm).
