If you’re staying in Miramar Beach and want a kid-focused Halloween day trip west, Gulf Breeze Zoo runs Boo at the Zoo across four October weekends. The event includes a Trick-or-Treat Trail through the zoo, bounce houses, face painting and keeper appearances with animal ambassadors, and the ticket includes general zoo admission.

Plan around the posted 10 a.m. opening, since the zoo admits no one early. Zoo members buy a separate $10 event ticket. Check the zoo’s page for ticket details before you head out on U.S. 98.
