ZooBoo returns to the Indianapolis Zoo with 21 days of fun

Last year, the Indianapolis Zoo reached an incredible milestone with a celebration of 40 years of ZooBoo. This year it’s back and even better with 21 days of fun and new attractions.

A WHOLE NUMBER OF HALLOWEEN FUN

ZooBoo is a Halloween staple for those in the Indianapolis area and anyone who has made this part of the holiday tradition.

According to the Indianapolis Zoo;

Come to the zoo for Halloween activities, amazing animals and pumpkins galore! ZooBoo is a fun family experience for little ghouls and goblins as well as older ones.
