This Weekend in Little Rock

Boo at the Zoo starts this Thursday. They are having a daytime event this year. This is great for younger kids who don't like the dark but still want to experience the rides and carnival atmosphere. There will also be some special daytime activities. Cost is $5 for the nighttime event or the cost of general admission ($10) for the daytime event.

There are plenty of other Halloween activities taking place. Check out my list.
