Boo at the Zoo
On Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 25 and 26 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., the Philadelphia Zoo invites guests to the Halloween attraction Boo at the Zoo, free with zoo admission. The zoo offers a giant costume and trick-or-treating party among the animals, with free candy stations throughout the zoo, storytelling, face-painting, games, and music. As a 2008 bonus, Dracula from the Pennsylvania Ballet Company and Peter Pan from the Walnut Street Theater will join in the fun. The zoo animals, too, receive a tasty Halloween treat - local farms donate pumpkins, apples, and fresh produce every weekend in October in the spirit of the harvest season.
For an extra $50, guests can stay overnight for the Spooky Snoring Safari, during which families camp out in an empty classroom and receive a tour of the zoo after dark to view the nocturnal animals in addition to ghost stories, arts and crafts, and other activities, this event completes the family-friendly Halloween festivities.
Adult zoo tickets are $17.95. Child tickets are $14.95. Children under two years old enter free. The Philadelphia Zoo is open daily from 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
