Halloween Will Look Different This Year At Ross Park Zoo

Every year, my daughter and I look forward to Howloween and  Boo at the Zoo at Ross Park Zoo. It's back but it's going to look a little different this year. In the past, they would have a kid-friendly event for the first three weekends of October. The final weekend would be more for the adults.

Halloweekend will be a family-friendly event with tricks and treats for all ages. Dr. Brenda Myers from the Discovery Center said that "Halloweekend is dedicated to having fun with hands-on learning and celebrating the fun of Halloween."
