(WXYZ) — Get ready for a scary good time at our local zoo, because Zoo Boo is back.
The Detroit Zoological Society announced that the annual Halloween-themed event will kick off on October 7.
Zoo Boo, presented by Corewell Health, will take place over three weekends. According to the Zoo, guests can expect trick-or-treating, educational stations, face painting, habitat chats and more.
"Zoo Boo is a ‘spooktacular’ family experience," said Brittany Gardner, public events manager for the Detroit Zoological Society, in a press release. "This is one of our most celebrated events of the year, and we can’t wait to see the Zoo filled with families dressed up in their most creative costumes.”
Each weekend of Zoo Boo will also have a different spellbinding theme.
