Boo at the Zoo
Powell
Known as “merry not scary,” this perennial favorite is full of treats only, starting at Adventure Cove, where costumed kiddos can watch a giant pumpkin carving, step inside the “Imaginarium” fun house and celebrate at a Halloween hoedown with the Oak Ridge Bears. New this year are the “Rave at the Grave” dance party and a trick-or-treat trail boasting 13 stations. Bring the little ones to tackle a hay maze and meet and greet with their favorite character ambassadors.
