Zoo Director Marnita Van Hoecke says people should plan ahead when coming:

"The line gets to be over a block long within half an hour before we open and so we have got two ticket lines coming in for pre-sale only so if you get your tickets ahead of time you can save time in line and not have to worry about it."

Van Hoecke says many people come dressed up in costumes, the animals will have some theme-related toys to play with and BooFest is a festive time for both employees and those attending:

"And then we just have fun decorations throughout the zoo, we have kind of spooky Halloween music playing over our P.A. system so it's kind of a just all-around great atmosphere."

Van Hoecke says BooFest is combined from two other past events ZooBoo and ZooFest and is now one of their biggest events.

BooFest is also a fundraiser for the Zoo with 100% of the proceeds going towards future zoo improvements. BooFest runs from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and costs $8.00 to attend.
