Fresno Chaffee Zoo Launches Halloween Festivities with ZooBoo

The Fresno Chaffee Zoo in California is set to kick off its Halloween celebrations with the annual ZooBoo event, running from October 23 to 25, from 17:00 to 20:00. This year, the zoo introduces a new twist with its first-ever Sniffari night, allowing dog owners to explore the zoo alongside their pets on October 26.

The ZooBoo event offers a range of educational experiences, featuring animal ambassadors. One highlight includes a special appearance by Gail, a Zoological Care Specialist, who recently visited local media with Zena, a box turtle that showcases the surprising agility of these creatures. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with similar educational displays, capturing memorable moments during the festivities.

On the final night, the Sniffari will provide a unique experience for dog lovers. Participants can stroll through the zoo with their pets, enjoying the festive atmosphere and various activities designed for both two-legged and four-legged visitors. Vanessa Vasconcelos, a well-known local personality, will serve as the emcee for a special puppy parade during this event.

Tickets for ZooBoo and the Sniffari night can be purchased through the Fresno Chaffee Zoo’s official website, where more details about the events are also available. This initiative not only aims to entertain but also to educate visitors about wildlife, fostering a deeper appreciation for animals.

Both events promise to bring excitement to the Fresno community, combining fun with learning as Halloween approaches. The zoo encourages families and pet owners to participate in the celebrations, making it a festive outing for everyone involved.
