Rev your engines and get ready for some spooky trick-or-treat fun—all from the comfort of your car!
Are you looking for a safe alternative to trick-or-treating—all from the comfort of your own car? Well, look no further! Celebrate Halloween this year at the National Zoo’s Boo at the Zoo Drive Thru edition on Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25, from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. ET.
During your drive, experience supernatural sights including witches, vampires, and other spooky characters. Towards the end, you’ll have a photo opportunity while also receiving treat bags stuffed with M&Ms, Twix, and many other Mars Wrigley candy!
The drive is a mile-long, and cars will enter through the zoo’s Connecticut Avenue entrance. (Please note that only family-sized vehicles can enter.)
