The costume parade and contest will take place at 12 noon each day at the Elinor Friend Playground, where entrants can line up to parade around the Sculpture Learning Plaza and Playfield Lawn before being considered for the various costume categories. These include: Best Animal Costume, Best Family Costume, Best Toddler Costume and Judge’s Favorite, where winners are selected in first, second and third place. Guest judges are radio talent Chuy Gomez from 102JAMS on Oct. 21 and Daryl “Guru” Johnson from 95.7 The Game on Oct. 28.
Throughout each day, a line-up of scheduled treat presentations for animals, such as chimpanzees, lemurs, rhinoceroses, and more make Boo at the Zoo one of the most unique Halloween events around. Be sure to take a snap of the schedule located on A-frame signs as guests enter.
The event also features the Happy Harvest Hay Maze, a 5,000-square foot hay maze and the largest one in San Francisco, featuring a hay pit, toddler maze and fun facts kids can find at dead ends within the maze. A candy treat station is located in Entry Village where guests can pick up a candy treat bag upon exiting.
Guests are encouraged to dress in costume, however, please avoid wearing masks for the animals’ safety.
