BALTIMORE, MD – For the 38th year, the Maryland Zoo brings growls and ghouls together at ZooBOOO! presented by Chase. ZooBOOO! will take place October 29th through the 31st, from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm. ZooBOOO! includes safe Halloween trick-or-treating, visits from our Animal Ambassadors, two costume contests each day sponsored by Mount Washington Pediatrics, carnival games, crafts, the STIFEL “not-so-spooky” hay maze, family entertainment and much more!
The Zoo’s African Journey habitats set the stage for one of the most popular Halloween traditions – the Elephant Pumpkin Smash! Watch as the African elephants enjoy their fall treats in a big way at 11:00 am each day of the event weekend.
Guests, especially the young ones, are encouraged to wear costumes to ZooBOOO! And, back by popular demand, trick-or-treat candy chute stations will be located throughout the Zoo! There are still a few COVID-related protocols still in place for this event:
