Zoo Boo

Zoo Boo at the Detroit Zoo is an annual Halloween tradition, transforming the grounds into a family-friendly celebration. Attendees can expect trick-or-treating stations, costumed characters, and festive decorations throughout the animal habitats. It’s an opportunity to see the zoo in a different light, with a focus on seasonal fun rather than a traditional concert or play. This event takes place on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak, MI. The zoo’s expansive grounds provide plenty of space for exploration, making it a good fit for families with young children looking for a daytime Halloween activity.
