Find the Creature in You for a Trick-or-Treat Alternative

Looking for an alternative to trick-or-treating in Albuquerque this year? You’re in luck! This Halloween, consider checking out the ABQ BioPark Zoo’s 25th annual “Zoo Boo” event.

Celebrate animals and Halloween by dressing your family up and heading over to the zoo for a full day of fun and games. Don’t want to dress up but still want to help? The event is also seeking volunteers ages 18 and older - call (505) 848-7172 for more information.

Public transportation to the event is available:

●       Free park-and-ride is available from the Aquarium & Botanic Garden, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

●       Take the bus:

1.     The Rapid Ride stop at the Main Library is about 14 blocks from the Zoo.

2.     The Route 66 bus stop at Central and 10th is an 8 block walk.

3.     The Rt. 53 bus stops just 1 block from the Zoo entrance

And here’s the official event description, from the City of Albuquerque’s website:

It's time for Zoo Boo! We're celebrating 25 years of safe Halloween fun this year with games, Haunted Habitats, costumes and, of course, candy! Trick-or-treat from dozens of sponsoring businesses and civic organizations at tables throughout the Zoo.
