Binghamton Zoo Announces Fall Fun Events

The leaves are turning color, the weather is getting cooler and that can only mean one thing- it's time for another fun Halloween season with ‘Howloween at the Zoo’ and ‘Boo at the Zoo’ at the Binghamton Zoo!

Howloween at the Zoo will be held October 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, and 19 from 10am-4pm. This event will have lots of fun activities perfect for kids between 3 and 10. Kids can earn prizes and treats while playing games like pumpkin bowling, pirate ring toss, and pumpkin bean bag toss. There will also be crafts and face painting.

As a special bonus part of Howloween at the Zoo, Cinderella will be at the zoo for its first ever Tea Party with Cinderella! Your little princess and prince will get to meet Cinderella on October 11th from 11am-12:30pm and will have lots of fun taking part in story time, royal crafts, and will enjoy a special appearance by some of the zoo's animals.

If you're looking for a more ghostly gathering, the 23rd annual Boo at the Zoo is just around the corner! Those who are daring enough to enter the haunted zoo will experience a place full of terrifying scenes and creepy characters. Boo at the Zoo takes place on October 24th and 25th from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. Boo at the Zoo is for older zoo guests and not recommended for those under the age of 10. Strollers will not be permitted during the event. Guests are welcome to wear costumes, but masks are not allowed.

Admission for both ‘Howloween at the Zoo’ and ‘Boo at the Zoo’ is only $6 for members and $8 for non-members. For more info on these signature events, please visit the zoo's website or call the office at 607-724-5461.
