With six nights of “spell-a-bration,” there’s plenty of time to get into the Halloween spirit as the Zoo offers safe trick-­or-treating and “monster-ous” thrills and chills. 

As one of Santa Barbara’s most beloved Halloween happenings, Boo at the Zoo, held on on Oct. 18-20 & 25-27, features trick-or-treating, Zoo Train rides, a hay bale maze, creepy-crawly animal encounters, mad science experiments, bounce houses, dancing, and more! Tasty treats and booo-zy adult beverages are available for purchase. 

Boo at the zoo will be held Oct. 17-19 and Oct. 24-26.
