Boo at the Zoo Spooky Saturday

Mummies and daddies are invited to bring their little ghouls and goblins to a day of safe and free trick-or-treating at the St. Louis Zoo's Spooky Saturday.

Kids will encounter surprises and goodies along the way, along with their favorite costumed characters and entertainment.

Kids 12 and under should wear their Halloween costumes because there are plenty of photo opportunities, including haystacks, pumpkins, and of course, the Zoo animals! It is a safe Halloween event all ghouls and goblins are sure to enjoy.

Because Boo at the Zoo Spooky Saturday is a family-friendly event, visitors over age 13 in costume are not allowed unless they are accompanying children. Specifically, the Zoo's policy requires no adults can be wearing a mask or otherwise have their face covered with face-painting, etc.

Spooky Saturday is free and begins at 9 a.m. The day's activities include:

• Educational Activity Stations from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Entertainment from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Pumpkin Stomp 'n' Chomp from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
• Crafts and Games from noon to 4 p.m.
• Costume Character Meet and Greet at 3:15 p.m.

Admission is free from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. only.
