Who says trick or treating is just for kids? Nashville’s wildest adults-only Halloween bash, BOOze at the Zoo, returns on Thursday, Oct. 16.

Grab tickets, throw on your spookiest costume, and leave the kids at home for an unforgettable night with:

  • Trick-or-treating throughout the Zoo
  • Favorite sips + food truck bites
  • A live DJ
  • Free carousel rides
  • Plenty of party animals (the tigers + flamingos like to stay up late)

Psst…Zoo members can score discounted tickets, but only until Friday, Oct. 10.

Eat, drink, and be scary
