Long known in Atlanta for its “merry, not scary” approach to Halloween, especially for families with younger children, Boo at the Zoo will offer a one-way trick-or-treat station path and a stop by Boo Town Square for special entertainment, all in the home of more than 1,000 animals from around the world.
