HallowZOOeen

Going to HallowZOOeen at the Tulsa Zoo has become an annual tradition for our family. With the haunted house, haunted train ride, festive decor for all ages to enjoy, and enough treats to make ten trick-or-treaters happy, it’s a great stop for Halloween family fun.

Here’s more description from the Tulsa Zoo and Living Museum:

The Tulsa Zoo will put on a costume of its own this Halloween as it transforms into a spooky but not-too-scary trick-or-treating wonderland. HallowZOOeen is nightly from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, October 27th- 31st, so you can start trick-or-treating early, or make it your Halloween evening destination.

The Tulsa Zoo provides a safe trick-or-treating environment, with corporate-sponsored “Goblin Stops” to fill up your kiddos’ goodie bags – and with over 3 tons of candy, there will be plenty of treats. If you’ve got a brave little boy or ghoul, have them take a journey through our Haunted House, and your seaworthy sprouts can take the helm of a one-of-a-kind Pirate Ship. The whole family will enjoy the “Pumpkin Patch Playroom”, with a Hay Maze, clowns and carnival games. And no trip is complete without a Haunted Train Ride for only $4, where there are spooky surprises around every turn, or take a spin on the Cross-Eyed Carousel for only $1. To capture the moment, stop by to snap a pic of your little goblins at the Walgreen’s free photo booth.

Here are some pictures from this year’s HallowZOOeen – treat stands, cool signs and decor, and my favorite part was the ghost ship (though the photos don’t really do it justice):

Earth Day 2008 at The Tulsa Zoo

We celebrated Earth Day at The Tulsa Zoo this year and I can’t imagine a better place. Not only does The Tulsa Zoo keep a host of animals in very natural habitats (that’s one thing I’ve always liked about this zoo – the animals have plenty of room to roam and it’s obvious that the zoo goes to great measures to make sure that the animals are at home in their natural settings), but they also have a lot of different plant species in their natural habitats. To me, celebrating both plant and animal life is a great way to foster appreciation for our earth.

But they had a lot of extra features on Earth Day as well, including booths with earth-friendly messages and products. They were even giving beautiful pine trees away to zoo guests!

Not only that – but they had crafts for the kids, too. My daughter loves arts & crafts so she had a great time at this butterfly craft table:

Between the crafts, the festive earth-friendly spirit in the air, and the pure pleasure of visiting this zoo – it was truly a great Earth Day for our whole family.

Hi, this is Jennifer Hall and I’m the founder of the Go! Blog Network. The Zoo Review is going to be where my family and I write about events and adventures at various zoos. Our zoo home is the Tulsa Zoo (which was voted as America’s Favorite Zoo - and trust me, it has many awesome features to merit this title!) – so you’ll be seeing a lot about that one, but we’ll also be visiting other zoos and hope to bring you lots of great photos and stories!
