Program Details
Zoo Boo is one of the leading and longest-lived trick-or-treat events in Anchorage.
Zoo Boo at the Alaska Zoo features decorated trails with candy stations spread throughout zoo grounds, run by local business partners and zoo volunteers.
Pumpkins will be dropped off prior to the event and will line the trail by the lawn. We will have several pumpkin carving categories for people to enter, including a kid's contest. The south lawn will hold carnival games, suitable for young children. The infirmary trail will be decorated extra scary for older children. Food trucks will be located behind the coffee shop and at the old log cabin zoo entrance. The Kape Expresso Tayo Coffee Shop and the Zoo Gift Shop will be open for business. The Greenhouse will be used for seating and to house the photo booth and face painter.
