🎃 What a BOO-tiful day at Alexandria Zoo! 👻

Today’s Zoo Boo was filled with costumes, candy, creativity, laughter, and so many great moments with families from across our community.

A huge thank-you to everyone who joined us, along with the staff, volunteers, sponsors, Treat Station partners, and community organizations who helped bring the day to life. Events like Zoo Boo take a lot of teamwork, and we’re grateful for every person who helped make it happen.

For more than 40 years, Zoo Boo has been part of the Halloween tradition at Alexandria Zoo, and today was another reminder of why this event means so much to so many families. 🧡
