October 25 – October 26
Things to do in Atlanta. Halloween in Atlanta 2026.
Boo at the Zoo is Atlanta’s favorite family Halloween festival!
Wake the Komodo dragon, gila monster and hooded vultures! Boo at the Zoo is FREE for Zoo Atlanta Members and children under 3; FREE with general admission.
During the last three weekends of October from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., enjoy trick or treating, plenty of photo opportunities, themed entertainment and activities, costumed characters, and so much more. Costumes are welcome; please take a moment to read over our rules.
Boo at the Zoo is about creating special memories with the family, not necessarily to bring home the biggest haul of candy. Come for the candy but stay for the fun! This event is rain-or-shine; however, some activities may be delayed or canceled due to rain.
NEW FOR 2026: We’re expanding to a fifth day of Boo at the Zoo this year, and guess what? We’ll be hosting Boo at the Zoo on Halloween!
