Conjuring Up Bismarck’s Zoo Boo: 4 Things To Know Before You Go

Zoo Boo is a spooktacular-howling good time at the Dakota Zoo in Bismarck, North Dakota. 

This year's event will take place this Saturday, October 26th from 1 to 4 pm.  It is so nice to see this safe and fun trick-or-treating experience back in the community.

The weather looks like it will cooperate this year too with high temperatures near 60.  If you remember, last year's Zoo Boo was just a little chilly. You can probably even get by without a jacket.

Here are 4 things to keep in mind when you attend this year's Zoo Boo at Dakota Zoo in Bismarck.

Located at 602 Riverside Park Rd, Bismarck, North Dakota, United States, North Dakota 58504.

Number One:  You are more than welcome to view and enjoy the animals while you trick-or-treat.  I'm looking forward to seeing the penguins at Dakota Zoo (something I haven't seen yet).

Number Two:  The event cost is only $5.00 per person and includes adults.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.  The admission fee applies to both members and non-members alike.

Number Three:  The money raised is a fundraiser that will go directly back to the animals at the Dakota Zoo. That's right, every penny will go directly to our favorite creatures to help them over the winter.

Number Four: This year at Zoo Boo there will be treat booths from area businesses (including US 103-3), spooky destinations, concessions, and more. Bring your kiddies and enjoy a spooky good time in a safe trick-or-treat environment.
