Does the zoo provide trick-or-treating bags?

What time is trick-or-treating?
Trick-or-treating is every Saturday and Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m. and on Halloween from 4 to 8 p.m.
Are any of the Zoo Boo! activities an additional fee?
Yes, the pumpkin patch is an additional charge if you would like to do this activity.
Is the candy that is being handed out eco-friendly?
This year Zoo Boo! is proud to feature trick-or-treat candy that is eco-friendly, as it contains responsibly sourced palm oil. This falls in line with the zoo’s conservation efforts to save forests and the wildlife found there. Palm oil is the most widely used vegetable oil and is found in over have of products found in supermarkets. Because of this, land and forests are cleared to make way for palm oil plantations, thus threatening wildlife. San Antonio Zoo is committed to bringing awareness to ecological issues like this.
