Children can trick-or-treat across the zoo grounds at dedicated treat stations, including a fresh produce stop. Guests can contribute to a giant monster mural in the Brawn Family Foundation River Lodge and fill up a ZooBOO Safari card with stamps. The zoo's Wilder Bunch theatre group also stages performances on the Savannah Lawn throughout the weekend.
