Don’t be scared… We have 10 tips for Boo at the Zoo!

1. Wear layers - You never know what the weather may be like here on the side of the mountain. Wear layers so you are prepared for anything.
2. Bring a flashlight - The zoo is lit for this event, but it’s always nice to have a little extra light.
3. Save money for hot chocolate - Bring a little extra money to warm up at the Grizzly Grill with a cup of hot chocolate.
4. Wear comfortable shoes - Don’t forget when you’re planning your costume, comfy footwear is a must for the terrain here at the zoo
5. Bring a bag - There is plenty of orangutan friendly candy for everyone during Boo at the Zoo! Don’t forget your reusable treat bag.
6. Skip the parking line - Use the FREE shuttle, leaving from the Broadmoor Fire Department. You can purchase your Boo at the Zoo tickets right on the shuttle.
7. Renew your membership - Don’t forget to renew your zoo membership before the event to take advantage of the special members-only admission discount.
8. Bring your Zeezo’s receipt – Remember to bring your Zeezo’s receipt during the first weekend to receive a $2 admission discount (valid Oct. 21-23 only).
9. Check your watch – Make sure to keep tabs on time so you don’t miss “Things That Go Bump in the Night” animal show performed nightly at 6:15, 7:15 and 8:00 at Lodge at Moose Lake.
10. Don’t forget to HAVE FUN!

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is celebrating the distinction of accreditation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Because the zoo doesn’t receive any tax support to operate, it relies on donations, membership dues, and admissions for funding. Community support is the reason Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is so unique, so we planned a special From the Zoo to You Community Accreditation Celebration to say thank you!
