Halloween at the National Zoo

The National Zoo was preparing for this Halloween event when we were there recently.
Along the walkways we saw many amusing Halloween displays, as shown in these photos.
Promoted for kids age 4 to 12, the sold-out event included trick or treats for the animals and kids,
and special evening access to some of the buildings. Must have been fun!

The National Zoo is really great! All to be shared with Eileen’s Critters.

  10. What a fun experience at our National Zoo. Must have been fun reading all the signs that went with some of them. That is a wonderful mural. Too bad it was overtaken by so many people, so it was a bit hard to see it in all its glory. I'm definitely going to miss the pandas!!

  11. What fantastic Halloween event The kids will love it I especially love the sense of humour like 'died laughing' and 'bones and treat' lol and 'still waiting'

  12. Oh, why for kids only??? I am a kid still, bet many of us are!
    Haha, I should dress up our Duke Henry as Pirate!
    And I do hope I´ll die laughing, too.
    My cat waves hello. (It´s a fake, of course, too).
    FUN at the zoo! Next year: Perth Zoo again. And later maybe Hannover. Last time we visited was 2002... It´s about time!

  13. I'm not very fond of Halloween. Though it is gradually spreading through the Netherlands. But that mural is beautiful

  14. That must have been a great Halloween party at the zoo.
    I'm not very fond of all the scary disguises, but Halloween is also becoming popular in Australia in the last couple of years.
    Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Mae.

  17. That panda painting is pretty clever, and I love the giant pumpkin. Looks like you all had a good time.
