Surprisingly, tickets are still available for one of the best, not-too-spooky Halloween parties in town for families: Boo at the Zoo at the National Zoo. Saturday night is sold out, but you and the kids can attend Friday October 23 and Sunday October 25′s parties from 5:30-8:30pm both nights.

The Zoo puts on a Halloween costume of enhanced eerie lighting and 46 stations serving up a variety of candy, healthy, and organic goodies for the kids to hit for trick-or-treat. The kids can also enjoy the following animal-tastic activities:

• Termite Fright: Make like a sloth bear and dig for a termite treat.
• Cheetah Play Tree: Be a cheetah and learn about cheetah behaviors and adaptations.
• X-ray Vision: Be a vet and help diagnose a bald eagle.
• Mammal Mysteries: Test your senses to learn more about the amazing variety of small mammals.
• Getting Sleepy?: Make a nest like an orangutan.
• Creepy Creature Demos: Every half hour, little ghouls and goblins can spend time with spineless wonders, including a cockroach, spider, millipede, tarantula, and scorpion.
• Be Digested By a Tiger! On your way up to Great Cats, get chewed up, digested, and pooped out at the other end of the Tiger Tunnel.
• Animal Enrichment: At 7 p.m., the lions and tigers will receive enrichment items to pounce on and play with. See these frisky felines demonstrate predatory skills with their sharp claws and strong jaws.

Tickets are $15 for Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ) members and $25 for nonmembers (buy here.) Members may buy a maximum of six tickets at the member price. You can also join FONZ to buy tickets now with the member discount. Proceeds support animal care, conservation science, education, and sustainability at the Zoo.
