SF Teaching Zoo's 30th annual Boo at the Zoo is Gainesville's favorite Halloween treat for families. The students and staff transform the zoo into a spooky but safe trick or treating event for the whole family. All ages are welcome to join us in costume and trick or treat! The zoo will be closed from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. in order to prepare and transform the zoo into multiple themed areas with candy stations.๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Entry line and can collection will start behind the Santa Fe College Gymnasium. Visit with Santa Fe College student clubs, play games with Santa Fe Saints Athletics teams, and check out a book from Alachua County Library's Bookmobile before trick or treating through the zoo!
Following your trick or treat adventure, visit the Fun4GatorKids KidsZone in the zoo's parking lot, full of community organizations with crafts, activities, and even more candy! There will be live entertainment from Danscompany of Gainesville performing their Thriller trilogy, animal encounters, food trucks, and the Lifesouth Bloodmobile for you to donate your blood to vampires. ;)
