Additional Boo at the Zoo Activities

The Wildlife Stage this year is featuring a show from Red Mountain Theater Company called Perry Hotter and the Mystery of Global Warming.  This 15 minute show features some of Birmingham's fresh talent and Birmingham Zoo animals. Show times are 6:00 pm and 7:30 pm every Friday and Saturday of Boo At The Zoo.  On Sunday, there will be a short animal demonstration at the same times. 

Ghoul School is a time honored tradition at Boo At the Zoo. The classes are about ten minutes long and little goblins are taught how to howl like a wolf, rattle chains like a ghost, walk like a monster, cackle like a witch, and much more to graduate! Classes are taught by our Ghoul School Mistress and will be every half hour from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm!
