Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo: Boo at the Zoo

  • When: Thursday, October 31, 2024,  3:00 pm -  7:00 pm
  • Location: Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo: 3000 NW 83rd Street, Gainesville, FL 32606

We'll see you on October 31, 2024 for our 28th annual event! Boo at the Zoo is Gainesville's favorite Halloween treat for families. The students and staff transform the zoo into a spooky but safe trick or treating event for the whole family. All ages are welcome to join us in costume and trick or treat!

Admission to the event is one canned good or non-perishable food item per person. Cans collected help two charities - Saints Food Share at Santa Fe College, and Catholic Charities, which feed families in need around our community.

The zoo will be closed from 9 am - 3 pm in order to prepare and transform the zoo into multiple themed areas with candy stations.

In addition to the festivities and trick or treating in the zoo, Fun4GatorKids hosts a KidsZone in front of the zoo full of community organizations with crafts, activities, and even more candy! There will be live entertainment from Danscompany of Gainesville performing their Thriller trilogy, animal encounters, games run by Santa Fe Saints Athletics teams, and food available for purchase at the event.
