Boo at the Zoo Returns ~ A Little Different This Year

October 1, 2020

New Orleans' favorite Halloween experience moves from night to day, providing families with a socially distanced, walk-through Zoo adventure on October 17, 18, 24, and 25. Boo at the Zoo is an annual Halloween tradition that benefits Children's Hospital New Orleans and Audubon Zoo featuring safe, fun-filled, family-friendly Halloween activities.  

 Peek-a-Boo at the Zoo will be held during regular Zoo hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. This daytime celebration will provide fun for the whole family and some of Audubon Zoo's animals too, ensuring that guests create spooktacular memories. Peek-a-Boo at the Zoo guests are invited to wear their favorite costume. 

 "Although Peek-A-Boo at the Zoo won't look like the traditional Boo at the Zoo event, we are excited to provide our community with a safe environment to celebrate Halloween," said Audubon Nature Institute President and CEO Ron Forman. "We are thankful to be able to partner with Children's Hospital New Orleans to continue to connect children to the natural world."
