This week I had the opportunity to take a sneak peek at the Halloween Zootacular that will be taking place this Saturday, October 29th from 10am to 4pm at the Orange County Zoo. This super fun family day is the perfect way to kick off the Halloween festivities.

I took my son to the Zoo and he had a great time watching the animals enjoy some tasty Halloween treats. I think his favorite was watching the raccoons eat some of their special Halloween goodies. We also watched the bears and coati enjoy their special pumpkins. We really enjoyed watching the raccoons and the coati stick practically their entire bodies in the pumpkins in search of their special treats.

The Halloween Zoo-tacular will feature face painting, crafts, trick-or-treating for the kiddos and a scavenger hunt. I think everyone in the family will absolutely love watching the animals devour the treat-filled pumpkins throughout the day! Pumpkins will be filled with avocadoes, honey and peanut butter for the bears; fruit, vegetables and meat for the raccoons and mice for the mountain lion, bobcats and ocelot.

It is a super fun filled day and included with admission to the zoo. Admission is $2 per person, kids 2 and under are free. For additional info head here.
