Boo at the Zoo

Check back for next year's dates!

Boo at the Zoo is Atlanta’s favorite family Halloween festival!

This not-so-spooky event includes daytime general admission to the Zoo for goblins of all ages, access to Trick-or-Treat Lane where kids can grab a few sweet treats, daily themed entertainment, and activities, strolling costumed characters, and so much more.

If you missed the festivities this year or can’t wait to do it again, never fear. Boo at the Zoo will be back in October 2026 with treats, photo ops, activities & entertainment, and epic Halloween memories. Stay tuned to this page for 2026 dates and details!

Costume Guidelines

  • Costumes must be family-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive, objectionable, gory or violent.
  • Costumes may not contain any weapons that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.
  • Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another guest.
  • No large, full-body inflatable costumes as they may unintentionally spook our animals.
  • Be merry, not scary! Adults may dress in costumes, but we ask that they be family-friendly and not scary.
  • As this event caters to small children, adults may NOT wear costume masks that cover their face. Zoo Atlanta reserves the right to ask adults to remove costume masks.
