The Milwaukee County Zoo isn't messing around this spooky season. Boo at the Zoo is back with trick-or-treating, glowing lights, costumes, and animals getting their own Halloween pumpkins. If your little monsters are gonna go feral on Halloween candy, what better place than the zoo? They'll fit right in.

And Thursday, the grown-ups get their turn with Spooky Safari… cocktails, fire dancers, tarot readings, and adult trick-or-treating. Finally, something we don't have to share with our children. GO TO EVENT DETAILS
