Oakland Zoo Boo at the Zoo Costume Contest
October 24, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Calling all ghosts, goblins, and witches – join us for the Boo at the Zoo costume contest! Each day, those in attendance will receive a Boo at the Zoo-themed trading card (special edition card changes each day).
Remember to dress in costume (no inflatable costumes – they can scare the Zoo animals) when you visit. Win great prizes at our in-person costume contest held Oct 24 – Oct 26 at 12pm in the Wildlife Theater located in the Wayne & Gladys Valley Children’s Zoo. Join in on some spooky fun at Oakland Zoo this year! It is free with admission, but advanced reservation is required (except for Oakland Zoo members).
Trading Cards this Year?
What trading cards will be available? It’s a surprise! A different limited-edition card will be available each day to both contestants and spectators, so if you’re an avid collector you might want to join us all three days.
No Trick or Treating this Year (2025)
There will not be trick-or-treating, a scavenger hunt, or goodie bags as part of Boo at the Zoo this year.
Free with admission to the zoo. $27-$30
