It’s Boo Time at the Santa Ana Zoo!
********** WaWa Republic Review **********
It’s a full house again here at Boo at the Santa Ana Zoo! We are going with a Super Mario theme this year and came here a little bit earlier with some daylight left for animal viewing. The staff and teenager helpers here are welcoming and friendly as always, happily taking pictures with my kids in their own unique costumes.
It is so wonderful to come down and enjoy the Halloween atmosphere with kids trick-or-treating, crafting, dancing with live music, and just having fun. There are also snacks and even a food truck for food options. If you want to avoid the crowd, try to go earlier close to opening time and there should be very minimal wait for rides. Santa Ana Zoo offers many exciting and family-friendly events throughout the year so it does pay for itself to become a Zoo member. There are two more Boo at the Zoo dates next weekend so don’t miss out!
