Family-Friendly Halloween Fun

How busy are you? The Oklahoma City metro is a big place to navigate and has a lot of family-friendly Halloween fun on the calendar for this year. We figured that since it’s nearly impossible to have more than a few minutes between working, changing diapers, refereeing between siblings, cleaning crayon off of the walls, getting gum out of somebody’s hair, and who knows what else…. we’d do a little of the dirty work for you.

Enjoy this list of events that will be a hit with everyone in the family!

halloween funThe Oklahoma City Zoo offers a great trick-or-treat experience. Get your kiddos all dressed up and venture through the zoo from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, from October 26-31. Or, if you don’t want any of the sugary stuff, visit the zoo from 6 to 8 pm on October 25 and let your kids explore the zoo and their fun Halloween decorations. Both events do have a fee. For more information, visit www.okczoo.com.
