Boo at the Oakland Zoo!

Calling all ghosts, goblins, and witches - join us for Boo at the Zoo every day, 10:00am to 4:00pm, October 1-29, 2023. Enjoy this family-friendly Halloween event with all new experiences!

New this year - navigate through a 500-bale hay maze and follow the clues on our self-guided scavenger hunt to find the animal x-rays throughout the Zoo! Make sure to grab your event guide and OCHO candy bar* as you enter the Zoo to participate in all the fun activities!

Remember to dress in costume (no inflatable costumes or costume weapons - they can scare the Zoo animals) when you visit and tag Oakland Zoo on social media to be entered in our Halloween costume contest. Winners will receive 4 tickets to our nighttime lantern festival this year, GLOWFARI, from November 10 - January 28!

Come and safely celebrate Halloween at Oakland Zoo this year!

*Candy bars may contain milk, soy, nuts, or gluten.
