Create a display on creative reuse Halloween costumes and displays or check out a kit of your choice. If you do decide to focus on recycling it is recommended to check out Metro’s Recycle or Not kit since this is a regional audience.

Invite a fellow Master Recycler to join you if you like!

The zoo provides a fun and safe setting for this Halloween tradition, where costumed trick-or-treaters learn about conservation in a fun scavenger hunt throughout the zoo. In keeping with the zoo's mission, Howloween aims to be educational as well as fun. Scavenger hunts and activities are themed to teach kids about animals around the world, and their habitats and how to protect them. Kids can collect treats and prizes at the different stations (we will provide the treats and prizes though you are welcome to give out prizes themed to your organization as well, please be mindful of choking hazards!). Programming should be geared toward the 2-12 year old range.

Other date options are Sunday October 20th, Saturday October 26th, and Sunday October 27th.
