"Boo at the Zoo is a wonderful event for the entire family" Philadelphia Zoo’s Chief Marketing and Experience Officer Amy Shearer said. "Fall is an exciting time to visit the Zoo -- the animals are active, the temperatures are beautiful—add in three outstanding weekends of Halloween celebrations – and it’s the perfect time to visit. We are thrilled to share an extra treat this year. Big Time has been so well-received, from kids and parents alike, so we have extended the exhibit through October 31st. If you haven’t checked Big Time out yet, now you can, before they go extinct again."
For Big Time, guests can reserve tickets now to walk among 24 life-size, animatronic dinosaurs and other amazing beasts through the age of dinosaurs to today. Learn more about Big Time here.
