PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — The calendar has turned to October and the Philadelphia Zoo<\/a> is ready for spooky season!<\/p>\n

“Boo at the Zoo” returns this weekend.<\/p>\n

And this year, the popular event extends through the entire month of October for the first time in its 20 year history.<\/p>\n

That means five weekends of fall fun, trick-or-treating and Halloween costume contests.<\/p>\n

The giant animal skeletons and hippos chomping pumpkins will return, along with other fall family favorites.<\/p>\n

There’s also some new events, like a SEPTA<\/a> “Boo Choo” train ride and an apple cider bar.<\/p>\n
