Boo at the Zoo was such a blast this year! A huge thank you to all the staff and volunteers that made it possible and to Friends of Oxbow for selling merchandise at the event! We'd also like to thank the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office for taking time to do a K9 demonstration.

Please enjoy some pictures that were taken throughout the day and let us know if you got to take a picture with Ellie the Otter!

As everyone is probably wondering which animal won the pumpkin carving contest, it was a clear winner this year.....the WOLVES!!!

Have a spooktacular Halloween!

🎄 Classic Christmas
🍬 Candy Cane Lane
❄️ Winter Wonderland
🎁 Santa's Workshop
✨ Something totally unexpected!

At E.L.F., participating businesses and organizations transform campsites at Chester Woods Park into festive displays for our community to enjoy.

And we'd LOVE to see what your team could dream up!
