Zoo Boo 2026


ONLINE TICKETS FOR ZOO BOO ARE NOW CLOSED. Paid entry is available at both the main zoo entrance and the old log cabin entrance. Paid entry at the gate is higher, $28/person ages 3+ (no member discount). Plan ahead next Zoo Boo to buy your tickets online for big savings. We encourage carpooling and use of the zoo lots to keep the neighborhood streets clear of parking traffic. Come in costume and bring your trick-or-treating bags!

Zoo Boo is one of the leading and longest-running trick-or-treat events in Anchorage. This event features decorated trails with candy stations spread throughout zoo grounds, run by local business partners and zoo volunteers. The zoo animals participate too with spooky-themed enrichment made by zookeepers. Zoo staff and volunteers dress up in costumes to match the visitor spirit, so be sure to come in full costume! The Discovery Center will feature skull and bone biofacts, along with a chance to see the zoo's reptile residents. The south lawn by the Coffee Shop will hold carnival games suitable for young children. All of the zoo trails and crossing points will have family-friendly spooky decorations, plus the addition of an extra scary trail for older kids and adults. The Kape Espresso Tayo Zoo Coffee Shop will be open with extra seating in the greenhouse. The Zoo Gift Shop will be open as well. Enjoy food purchasing at the Cuban Craving and Yeti Dogs food trucks, too! This event is a safe and fun addition to your trick-or-treating adventures.
