Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens is hosting our annual Zoo Boo Bash. Guests will get to trick-or-treat at the wildest place in town! The Zoo will have plenty of not-so-scary decorations and activities, including trick-or-treat stations. We will have treats, games, local vendors, and so much more! We are hosting this event on October 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th, 25th, and 26th.
This event is largely supported by volunteers as we need at least 35 volunteers (but can accept up to 70 volunteers) to keep the event running as volunteers support all of our activity, greeting, and treat stations. We need volunteers for the entire day from 8:00 am-4:30 pm. At this time, we are looking for volunteers who can attend the entire day. We will provide breaks for you and we have some great food sold on property at the Zoo if you need lunch to be purchased. Guests, staff, and volunteers will all be welcome to celebrate Halloween wearing family-friendly costumes.
We do allow children ages 13 and up to volunteer. However, if they are under 18 years old, we will need 1 chaperone per every 1-2 children because we want to make sure they have an adult with them at all times.
