Who should skip it
Your group wants real scares — that's Howl-O-Scream's job across town, not this one's.
The move
No reservation is required. Costumes are limited to children 12 and under; toy weapons are prohibited.
Getting there
Zoo main lot off North Blvd; it clears slowly at close, so beat the exit by leaving one show early.
One thing worth knowing
The zoo's animal habitats stay part of the show — night is when a lot of the residents are actually awake.
Make it an outing
Pair with dinner in Seminole Heights on the way — ten minutes south.
