Lincoln’s largest trick or treat event returns Saturday as “Boo at the Zoo” kicks off. “It’s a real fun family event where you can stop at more than 30 booths to get candy and coupons and all sorts of fun materials from local businesses,” says Marketing Director Erin Lenz.
She tells KLIN News 25,000 people attended last year. It runs October 26-30 and tickets for Saturday and other time slots have already sold out. Click here to reserve tickets.
Kids are encouraged to dress in their costume. All of the money raised directly supports the zoo and it’s animals.
