Tips for the Zoo Boo Town Traveler
- Most Zoo animals will not be on exhibit during Boo at the Zoo. This isn't Zoo Atlanta - this is Zoo Boo Town! (And Zoo Boo Town residents are pretty particular about these things.) The enchanted village only comes alive on six nights, so the Zoo's regular residents retire so that the characters and places of Zoo Boo Town can rule the night.
- Special decree from the Mayor of Zoo Boo Town - come in costume!
- Hungry? Several of our food venues will be open for dinner. Check your Zoo map for listings.
Tickets are $10 for non zoo members. Children 2 and under get free admission.
