Halloween is NOT cancelled—at least not at Denver Zoo. Families throughout Colorado are invited to the Zoo daily from October 1 to 31 for Boo at the Zoo: Storybook Safari, a modified, masked version of Denver’s family favorite fall tradition. The Zoo’s 80-acre, mostly outdoor campus will come to life with costumed characters, enchanting animal experiences and festive seasonal fildood fit for a king or queen.
And Nature Connects, Art with LEGO Bricks will run through October 31 with more than 15 nature-inspired creations by Artist Sean Kenney, including giant LEGO spiders and bats fitting for the Halloween season.
The award-winning exhibit invites guests to connect to nature and the world’s vanishing species through life-size and larger-than-life plant and animal sculptures, placed throughout the Zoo and made entirely of LEGO bricks.
