PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Zoo is bringing back Boo at the Zoo just in time for the Halloween season.

The seasonal event will be open during the zoo's normal hours, 9:30 a.m .to 5 p.m.

Come dressed in your favorite costume, trick-or-treat around the Zoo, and enjoy seasonal décor, photo opportunities, festive fall offerings, fun children's activities and have a spooktacular time.

Admission is free to members with advance online reservation and with the regular price of admission.

Tickets will go on sale in the fall.

Reserve tickets online here.

"Boo at the Zoo is one of the Zoo's favorite events of the year and being able to offer our animals pumpkins, as either a snack or an item to investigate and play with, makes those three weekends in October even more special," said Philadelphia Zoo Chief Marketing and Experience Officer Amy Shearer. “We are so excited and thankful for the global interest in our hippos and Boo at the Zoo - our Zoo team and family have been thrilled to follow the video's journey over the last year from the moment Kory put it on TikTok. We are delighted to see it come back a year later and break records again over on Instagram - just in time for Spooky Season in Philly! How crazy that our hippos are now the stars of one of the most viewed Instagram Reels in the world."

Full details on Boo at the Zoo are being released later this month.
