Boo At the Zoo
We'll see you next year on October 31, 2025!
29th Annual Boo at the Zoo!
Studio32 Orthodontics
Boo at the Zoo is Gainesville's favorite Halloween treat for families. The students and staff transform the zoo into a spooky but safe trick or treating event for the whole family. All ages are welcome to join us in costume and trick or treat!
Admission to the event is one canned good or non-perishable food item per person. Cans collected help two charities - Saints Food Share at Santa Fe College, and Catholic Charities, which feed families in need around our community.
The zoo will be closed from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. in order to prepare and transform the zoo into multiple themed areas with candy stations.
In addition to the festivities and trick or treating in the zoo, Fun4GatorKids hosts a KidsZone in front of the zoo full of community organizations with crafts, activities, and even more candy!
Boo at the Zoo starts at 3 p.m. and runs until 7 p.m. We hope you'll join us for our 28th annual event!
