Get ready for a month of festive fright and fun at the annual “Boo at the Zoo” event, returning to Oglebay Good Zoo starting October 4. This beloved fall fundraiser, presented by the Wheeling Dairy Queens and Hartley Law Group, PLLC, will enchant ghouls and goblins of all ages every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday throughout October.
We’re thrilled to also announce the return of the “Year for Zoo and DQ Giveaway,” courtesy of the Wheeling Dairy Queens. Each weekend, one lucky child will win a year’s supply of mini blizzards and a zoo membership. Don’t miss your chance to win this fang-tastic prize!
Children, aged 3 to 12, are invited to wear their favorite costumes, grab their treat bags, and visit themed treat stations along the zoo’s outdoor walking path. The event will also feature a range of exciting activities, including a spooky train ride, the Jumbo Jumper™ Air Pillow, and a low ropes course.
