Zoo Boo at Zoo Miami

One of South Florida’s premier Halloween events where there’s something for everyone.

Plus, watch and enjoy as the zoo's wild animals get a special Halloween treat of their own! There will be music and games with fun prizes. Don’t forget to watch as some of the animals tear into their Halloween treats. Wild animals spend a large portion of their time searching for and consuming food. Here at the zoo, their diets are provided and easily accessible. Therefore, keepers use enrichment like the paper maché items, pumpkins, treat bags, etc. to promote natural foraging behaviors.
