Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo is hosting its annual Halloween event, Boo at the Zoo, Saturday, October 29th from 10 a.m.to 3 p.m. This year's theme, PokeMonKEE, is all things Pokemon and monkeys.
Boo at the Zoo will be a full day of fun with costume contests, prizes, photo opportunities, and a magician. The zoo will also be giving one of their lions, Baja, a new boomer ball (an indestructible ball made for wild cats).
Admission is $7. All the proceeds from this event will go to the zoo's train fund to get a new train for the zoo. The Louisiana Purchase Zoo is a non profit, meaning that all the money they earn stays within the zoo society.
Heather Moore of the Zoological Society says, "There is a lot that goes into the zoo, and we need people's support to be the zoo this area wants it to be. We're not giving up".
