There is just one day until Halloween, and CityBeat is giving you some spooky inspiration for how to get into the haunted holiday spirit. Come back to citybeat.com each day for new Halloween tips.

The Halloween season is coming to an end so it’s time to try to get to as many activities as you can. One of the cutest is HallZOOween at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Sunday, Oct. 31, is the last day to experience the zoo’s fall festivities, including trick-or-treat stations, the Hogwarts Express train and Scare-ousel. 

“We couldn’t have Treat Stations last year, and families, especially the kids, really love to ‘trick-or-treat’ through the Zoo,” said Cincinnati Zoo’s special events manager Kim Denzler in a release. “Everyone is glad to see those back again, including the volunteers who enjoy interacting with all the kids and seeing their costumes.”

On top of the Halloween events ending, the Kanga’ Klimb and Cheetah Encounter will also be closing down for the winter this weekend.

HallZOOween takes place noon-5 p.m. and the final Cheetah Encounters of the year will take place 10:30 a.m. and noon Oct. 30 and Oct. 31. The Kanga’ Klimb is open 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. those same days and requires separate tickets. HallZOOween is included with zoo admission (except for the rides).

The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is located at 3400 Vine St., Avondale. More info and tickets: cincinnatizoo.org.
