ZooBoo returns to Fresno Chaffee Zoo starting Thursday, October 21. Guests are invited to six nights of merry, not–too–scary fun on October 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, and 30. Activities at this after–hours event include magic shows, a kid–friendly dance party, and, of course, plenty of candy. The event runs 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. each night.
This year, the Zoo is debuting new décor and presentations throughout the event to provide more opportunities for guests to connect with nature. ZooBoo will feature a mini–hay maze, fall photo opps, presentations on bats, animal ambassadors, and more seasonal elements that celebrate the wonders of the natural world during the fall season.
“Guests who have been coming to this event over the years will see a lot of their favorite ZooBoo elements, including the popular trick–or–treat stations and Halloween decorations throughout the Zoo. We are building on that fun with new programs and engaging presentations about animals some people find scary, like bats,” said Brandy Gamoning, Fresno Chaffee Zoo Marketing Manager. “Zookeepers will also have animal ambassadors at the event. Their presence at ZooBoo allows them to be ambassadors for their species so that we can educate guests about what makes these animals amazing.”
