Boo at the Zoo
Fort Worth is feeling a little spookier with Halloween just days away, but for those with small children, haunted houses and ghost tours probably aren't the friendliest of family activities. If you're looking for a place to bring your little monsters this weekend, here are a few ideas.
Boo at the Zoo, Friday – Sunday
Where: Fort Worth Zoo
An annual favorite, Boo at the Zoo brings back treat stations, stage shows, and plenty of real-life creatures to view and snap photos with. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the newly opened Elephant Springs exhibit located right next to African Savanna. Costumes are a must.

Treat Street, Saturday
Where: Fort Worth Stockyards
Enjoy the Legends of Texas Spooktacular Show, face painting, costume contests, and trick-or-treating sprawled across the Livestock Exchange lawn, Stockyards Station, and Mule Alley.
