Halloween every year is much awaited but the best part about the Holiday is that Boise celebrates all weekend long! From trunk or treats across the Treasure Valley to Jump or Treat at the Jump building there are enough festivities that everyone can go too. However, one of the most anticipated Halloween activities is Boo at the Zoo at Boise’s very own zoo. There’s nothing better than trick or treating than trick-or-treating with zoo animals!

This fun festivity takes place Saturday, October 26 and Sunday, October 27 at Zoo Boise. There is plenty to do with a costume contest happening all day for people of any age, face painting, and a bunch of local vendors. There will be trick-or-treat candy stations set up throughout the entire zoo as well as special Halloween-themed treats for the zoo animals. 

Anyone who hasn’t been to Zoo Boise is in for a special treat at this event with all of the animals you could possibly imagine as well as above and beyond activities all weekend.
