Friends of Lee Richardson Zoo are pleased to present the 20th annual “Boo! At The Zoo,” Saturday October 18, 2014. Lee Richardson Zoo will be closed all day October 18th for preparations. The evening includes a trick-or-treat trail with ‘spooktacular’ treat stations, creepy creature encounters with zoo docents and a journey through a ghoulish graveyard. Guests are asked to come hungry with an ogre-sized appetite, as the Safari Shoppe is selling Frankenweenies (hot dogs), along with other foods and various beverages. ‘Boo!’ advance passes are available for $5.00 per person at Lee Richardson Zoo, El Remedio Market and Wards Garden Center starting October 1, 2014 through noon October 18, 2014. Tickets may also be purchased online at folrz.org until Wednesday, October 15 to ensure delivery. Advanced gate opens at 4 p.m. General admission gate is open 5 – 8:30 p.m. Gate passes are $10 per person. Members-only skeleton key passes are also available (must have a current family/grandparent membership or higher level membership) and includes Sleepy Hollow Wagon Ride. Skeleton key passes are $15 each and are sold exclusively through the Friends’ office. Business or organization Treat Station locations are still available. Continued this year, guests will have the opportunity to visit the wizarding world of Harry Potter and purchase passage onto the Hogwarts Express. Witches and wizards are invited to travel through the Dark Forest while warding off dementors with their magic wands as the train makes its way back to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. Train passes are $5 each in addition to general admission. Pumpkin carving contest drop off is 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Friday October 17 at the zoo’s Finnup Center for Conservation Education, 312 Finnup Dr. Contact Friends of Lee Richardson Zoo for more information: 620-276-6243.
