30th Boo at the Zoo huge success

November 3, 2026
Shifting from the traditional Oct. 31 date this year did nothing to diminish attendance for Boo at the Zoo 2026, which saw a phenomenal turnout of more than 6,500 visitors on its 30th anniversary.
The event raised 7,741 non-perishable food items to support Saints Food Share. A big thank you goes out to Boo at the Zoo volunteers, community partners, and sponsors — UF Diabetes Institute - STEPS program, Fun 4 Gator Kids, Visit Gainesville, Alachua County, Zaxby’s Newberry Road, Gator Domino’s, and Mr. Greens — for your support of this event.
