Mendon, MA– Is your child already excited for Halloween this year? Why not get a jump start on the celebrations, starting on Saturday, October 19th at Southwick’s Zoo? During “Zoo Boo Days,” children under the age of 12 will get free admission to the zoo when they show up in their costume!
Along with offering free admission, the zoo is hosting a bunch of Halloween-themed activities for Zoo Boo Days from October 19th to the 27th. There will be trick-or-treating throughout the zoo, which is a wonderful opportunity for those who cannot trick-or-treat in their own communities, or for anyone who loves candy!
Guests can also watch various zoo animals receive their own pumpkins to play with, which has become a fan favorite among the Zoo Boo activities. The EARTH Discovery Center will be open at specified times so that guests can learn about Creepy Crawlies, and a stamp game will also be held throughout these two weeks. As always, Southwick’s incorporates the element of education into all of their enjoyable events.
“It’s always fun to watch our animals have fun with their pumpkins since they all interact differently,” says Justine Brewer, President of Southwick’s Zoo. “Halloween is just another excuse for us to educate the public and have fun with kids.”
