Zoo Tampa adds the undead and vampires to its menagerie

TAMPA, Fla. — More friendly than frightening, Zoo Tampa works to keep its Halloween event fun, especially for the little ones, who are encouraged to dress in costume.

Look for silly trolls, disco dancers and stilt walkers.

And as always, the zoo also offers interactive experiences with ambassador animals.

“At the heart of our mission, the conservation and protection of our wildlife is the most important thing we get to do,” said Stacey Goode, Zoo Tampa’s director of event productions.

Finally, the new Mesozoic Mayhem haunt is an eerie path filled with rogue dinosaurs and mad scientists.

Beware of the bushes.

Happy haunting.
