SATURDAY OCT. 17
HallZOOween

The annual HallZOOween festival is going ahead this year, with some COVID precautions in place. Weve had to reimagine most of our events this year for the safety of visitors and staff, said Cincinnati Zoo director Thane Maynard. For HallZOOween, well be offering pre-stuffed treat bags instead of inviting kids to trick or treat at multiple stations around the Zoo. Were also limiting attendance to ensure that Voldemort and Harry Potter and can stay a zebra length apart on Zoo grounds. Kids ages 2-12 will get a voucher for a free, pre-filled treat bag; animals will get special pumpkins; the Hogwart's Express train and Scare-ousel will be running; and festive fall food will be available. Costumes are encouraged and masks/facial coverings that adhere to CDC guidelines are still required. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 17, 18, 24 and 25. Free with zoo admission. Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, 3400 Vine St., Avondale, cincinnatizoo.org.
