Little Boo at The Zoo & Pumpkin Path
@ Toledo Zoo
October 22nd, 23rd, 24th & 25th, 2009
The Toledo Zoo is the most exciting place to be this Halloween! Don't miss all the "ghost-travaganza" fun!
"Little Boo" is the perfect Halloween party for preschoolers who may be too young to enjoy Pumpkin Path. Trick-or-treat stations, games, and Fisher-Price's giant play area are just part of the fun! Costumes are encouraged. Pumpkin Path offers more trick-or-treat stations than Little Boo, but there are no age restrictions - if you can't make it out for Little Boo, your preschool poltergeists will enjoy Pumpkin Path too!
