Sensory-Friendly Spooktacular Halloween
Wednesday, Oct. 30, 5-7 p.m.
Spooktacular Halloween is a sensory-friendly trick or treating night out at the Salisbury Zoo. This event will benefit children that would do better in a smaller-scale, calmer event setting. The Zoo has partnered with the Psychology Department at Salisbury University to host this event.
There will be a sensory-friendly candy trail, games and prizes.
Tickets are $10 per participating child, and adults are free. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the gate.
Children under the age of 2 and siblings that do not wish to participate will not need a ticket to enter, unless they would like to participate in the candy trail (trick-or-treating).
Rain Date: Nov. 1
