It’s time for ZooBoo and the Community Pumpkin Carve at Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek. The fall fun begins on Monday at the Zoo’s annual free Community Pumpkin Carve.  Then gather up the family and head out to ZooBoo October 14th through the 30th.

This family-fun Halloween event is packed full of games, rides, animals, and trick-or-treating.  Don’t forget to bring your trick or treat bag, ZooBoo offers a trick-or-treat trail, too! And what’s a trip to the Zoo without seeing some animals!  Many of the Zoo’s weather-hardy animals will be on exhibit including snow leopard, Mexican wolves, black bears and the red pandas.

The Zoo has added a little scary to this otherwise merry event with the addition of Haunted Africa! Experience the scarier side of Halloween on a spooky excursion through a portion of Wild Africa while ghosts, goblins, and things that go bump in the night await you on your Haunted Safari. Haunted Africa is recommended for kids 12 and up and operates on Friday and Saturday nights.

Not only is ZooBoo a fun, family friendly event that has been part of the Battle Creek community for 29 years, it is also the Zoo’s largest fundraiser.  The funds raised through this event go to support the care and feeding of the over 600 animals that call Binder Park Zoo home.  The animals stay at the Zoo all winter, even though it is closed to the public.  With rising costs in animal feed and electricity, fundraisers like ZooBoo are an essential piece to the puzzle of running a self-sustaining non-profit.
