Boo at the Zoo is under way at Denver Zoo, with trick-or-treat evenings on select dates through Friday, Oct. 30, and a sensory friendly night on Halloween. For families deciding which night to go, the zoo has a video on its YouTube channel built around five things to know before a visit. Colorado Local could not confirm when the video was posted, so treat it as a general preview and use the zoo’s event page for this year’s dates, prices and rules, which are summarized below.
