BOO at the Santa Ana Zoo!

Sponsored post.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly Halloween event this year that’s not super scary, the Friends of Santa Ana Zoo are hosting their 31st annual BOO AT THE ZOO located at the Santa Ana Zoo! It is one of Orange County’s longest-running Halloween events, providing a fun, safe, and family-friendly event for trick-or-treaters and children of all ages. We went a few years with other family members, and we loved it! The event takes place from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM on these four dates: Saturday, October 22; Sunday, October 23; Saturday, October 29; and Sunday, October 30, rain or shine. Get the details below!
