THE BRONX Zoo will celebrate Halloween with the final weekend of its annual program “Boo at the Zoo,” on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. This popular attraction features a wide range of Halloween-themed activities and entertainment for the whole family, including the brand new “Haunted Safari,” pumpkin carving demonstrations, hayrides, magic shows and animal demonstrations. Kids can make their own masks at a special crafts workshop, pick up some free candy at stations setup throughout the zoo and try to find their way through a hay maze. The zoo is located at Fordham Road, just off Exit 6 of the Bronx River Parkway, and it will be open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, call 718-367-1010 or go to www.bronxzoo.com.

THE CENTRAL Park Zoo, located at 64th Street and Fifth Avenue, will also hold its own version of “Boo at the Zoo,” on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 30 and 31, from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. During this Halloween extravaganza, visitors will be able to watch polar bears, snow monkeys and other animals as they are offered pumpkins filled with their favorite treats, from corn-on-the-cob to bamboo to fish. There will be special demonstrations at the bat exhibit every hour as well as a wildlife witch that will present a spooky show in a haunted habitat three times each day. In addition, kids can get their faces painted with various Halloween designs, go on a search for extinct animal spirits hidden around the zoo and make a bat, spider or snake headband at an interactive craft workshop.
