Post Sponsored by Fort Wayne Zoo and Star Financial

We had an amazing time this weekend at the Wild Zoo Halloween Hero Day! The Wild Zoo Halloween runs throught 10/31. I don’t want to give up all the details and blow the suprises.

Here are some of the highlights of our day:

We had the chance to trick-or-treat for candy at the Treat Trails, view the amazing zooanimals, I meet Broomhilda the friendly witch and took photo’s, stopped by the Beauty Shop of Horrors, snapped photo’s of the giant-sized pumpkins, took the train ride and was entertained as we heard the spooky “Tale of the Twisted Tree”. This was just a tiny bit of what Wild Zoo Halloween event has in store for attendees so run and get your tickets after you review the details below:
