The Denver Zoo’s annual Boo at the Zoo, which returned Oct. 20, 21, 27 and 28, is in many ways an ideal sandbox for trick-or-treaters.
Quite simply: Kids love animals and candy, and this has both. Trick-or-treat stations and “creepy crawly” animal demonstrations have always been the cornerstones of the event.
But there’s also the fact that all Halloween-themed activities at this year’s 34th annual happening — including jugglers, magicians and character meet-and-greets (Tinkerbell, Jack Sparrow, Moana and “Frozen” princesses, to name a few) — are included in the price of general admission, a nice break for families who have already ponied up for spiced cider, hayride glow-bracelets and corn maze T-shirts elsewhere.
The event returns 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 28, with $14-$20 tickets still available at denverzoo.org. To warm up, here’s a colorful slideshow of cute, spooky and everything-in-between costumes.
Note: If you go his weekend, be sure to read up on the costume restrictions, such as no masks for kids 12 and over, no fake weapons and other guidelines, at denverzoo.org/booatthezoo.
