ATASCADERO — The Charles Paddock Zoo in Atascadero has announced that its annual Zoo Boo event will now take place on two nights: Friday, Oct. 25, and Saturday, Oct. 26, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. each evening. This family-friendly Halloween event features a not-too-scary evening filled with carnival games, Halloween activities, a Haunted Maze, and plenty of treats.

Guests are encouraged to wear costumes for a chance to win prizes in two contests: one for children and one for families. Costumes should follow zoo guidelines, avoiding violent or scary themes, costume weapons, and masks for adults.

Tickets are on sale now at VisitAtascadero.com/ZooBoo. Prices are $16 per person, with discounts for Zoo members, and children under 2 enter for free.
