Boo at the Zoo is the Smithsonian’s National Zoo’s family-friendly Halloween celebration. The after-hours event features trick-or-treating at nearly 30 treat stations, festive displays along Olmsted Walk, special animal-viewing opportunities and not-so-scary entertainment throughout the Zoo. Costumes are encouraged, making the event especially suited to families with children.
