Final attendance numbers for the North Shore Bank Zoo Boo at the NEW Zoo are in, and the monthlong Halloween event can be deemed a scary success, even though head counts were down because of COVID-19. Over four weekends in October, the Zoo Boo drew a total 9,681 visitors. That’s down from 12,789 in 2019.

“We truly appreciate the opportunity to be the title sponsor for the Zoo Boo,” district manager Kerri Collins said. “While the attendance was down due to the pandemic, many people were thrilled to take advantage of this safe family event.” Here’s to an even more spooktacular 2021!
