Trick or Treat! 🎃 Only the sweetest treats will do for Krackle, the sweetest Dik-dik!

Tomorrow, we'll be hosting our Sensory Night for Le Bonheur Children's Hospital Zoo Boo! You'll be able to experience the magic of Zoo Boo in a calmer, more sensory-friendly environment. Just like Krackle prefers, the night will have limited attendance, reduced lights and sounds, and a dedicated quiet space. Sensory Night offers a welcoming and inclusive experience for guests of all abilities and those with sensory sensitivities.

Come enjoy all the spooky season fun at your own pace! Tickets are available on our website: https://www.memphiszoo.org/zoo-boo?utm_source=meta&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=2026_zoo_boo&utm_content=organic_post
