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.

While costumes are encouraged, costume masks will not be permitted for guests 10 and up. Certain optional paid experiences, such as giraffe feeding, Treetop Trail, the Endangered Species Carousel, and Zootrain, require masks for guests ages 2 and up.
