Safe trick-or-treating will get underway at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo this Friday, with the annual Boo at the Zoo. Your little ghosts and goblins will get chocolates and candies at more than 20 Spooky Treat Stations throughout the Zoo.

Besides trick-or-treating, you may venture into the haunted house and ghostly graveyard. The Zooper Heroes animal show will be performed at the Lodge at Moose Lake. Take the Mountaineer Sky Ride to Swamp Monster's Slime Factory, featuring the mad scientists from Science Matters. Little spooks will enjoy the creepy bat cave, lighted pumpkin path, and Boo carousel. African Rift Valley, Loft, Monkey Pavilion, Lion's Lair, and Aquatics will all be open to visit.

Wear your costumes and enjoy thea freightful evening.

Boo at the Zoo will be open the weekends of Oct 22 - 24 and 29 - 31, 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each night (last admission sold at 7:30 p.m.). Drive to the zoo or take the shuttle from the Sears parking lot at Broadmoor Towne Center on Southgate Road every 15 to 20 minutes. Shuttle service begins at 4:30pm and ends at 9:00pm. Purchase your Boo at the Zoo tickets on the shuttle and skip the line at the front gate. You'll also get a coupon for free giraffe crackers.
