Scream to the Animals: Boo at the Zoo

Graveyard of extinct animals
THIS WEEKEND: We're not sure what animals have to do with Halloween, but hey, it gives parents an excuse to hang out somewhere cool while their kids get hopped up on sugar and run around screaming.

Every year, Boo at the Zoo brings approximately a trillion adorable kids in costumes together to learn about animals and eat candy. It's like Halloween, but it happens the weekend before! It's really fun, though, so if you feel like you have the strength to handle two Halloween nights, you should bring the little ones — it's appropriate for kids aged 2-12. Tickets are sold out for Saturday night, but Friday and Sunday spots are still available.

» National Zoo, 3001 Connecticut Ave. NW; Fri., Oct. 23-Sun., Oct. 25, 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m., $25; 202-633-4800. (Woodley Park)
