Things are about to get wild at the Denver Zoo this Halloween!

The annual Boo at the Zoo event is a time-honored tradition at the Denver Zoo. And this year, it makes its grand return and along with it are two brand-new events that'll have you howling: Taps & Tails and Enchanted Hollows. 

All throughout October, the zoo will transform into a fall wonderland for its Wild Fall events, with pumpkin sculptures, scarecrows, and more than 4,000 animals providing the backdrop.

"We completely reimagined our fall events and created three distinct experiences that we think will really make Denver Zoo stand out from the crowd this season," said Marie Revenew, Vice President of External Relations for Denver Zoo, in a statement. "Our creative team has spent months crafting these events to perfectly capture the details and spirit of fall and Halloween." 

Check out each of the events below!
