In New Orleans, Boo at the Zoo is a tradition for many families. I know its something my oldest son looks forward to every year and this year will be extra special because Carnival Cruise Lines has jumped onboard with Children’s Hospital and Audubon Zoo to make it a year to remember.
Each year over 340,000 passengers sail out of New Orleans on a Carnival Ship bringing tourist from around the country to our great city and giving local families the opportunity to travel to amazing places across the Caribbean. Did you know Carnival Cruise Lines entertains over 710,000 kids per year. That’s the most in the cruise industry. Thanks to Carnival my oldest son has snorkeled the reefs of Belize, visited the amazing beaches of Honduras, and enjoyed Camp Carnival, their top rated kids program, while onboard the ship. Soon the Carnival Conquest will be returning to New Orleans after its extensive dry dock that added new dining options, entertainment, and other great new amenities.
Boo at the Zoo Presented by Carnival Cruise Lines will be held on four nights over two weekends including: Friday, October 19 and Saturday, October 20, Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27 from 5:00-9:00PM each night. To ensure that each little ghost and goblin has the best possible experience, a limited number of tickets will be sold for each evening. Those interested in attending are encouraged to order tickets early for this highly popular, often sold-out annual event. All games and treats are free with $17 admission (for children and adults), excluding concessions. Tickets are now available at AudubonInstitute.org or at any Audubon attraction ticket window.

There will be some great new features thanks to Carnival Cruise Lines including a Halloweened themed Fun Ship that is 70 feet long, pumpkin carving displays, children’s decorating stations, and tropical themed treats. Also, don’t miss Carnival Cruise’s performers on the Capital One Stage. There will be a toddler area in the Cool Zoo (minus the water, of course) to entertain the little ones. I’m planning on hanging out there with my littlest one while my husband takes our oldest son on the Zombie Themed Ghost Train.

I want to win this giveaway and want to enjoy with you. Really it’s a great opportunity.
For me, Candy Corn will be perfect!
How could anyone resist Reese’s Peanut butter Cups?!?!? Mmmmm…..
I always have a soft spot for nerds during Halloween!
I Love Candy Corn!! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I don’t discriminate when it comes to Halloween candy! If it is sugary and bad for me, bring it on! 🙂
My favorite candy is Snickers. I love the layers of sweet milk chocolate and caramel nouget with the salty peanuts. The layer of chocolate is savory and melts in your mouth, while the layer of peanuts it salty and and satisfies the urge to crunch and the caramel nouget it bursting with flavor is the glue holding it all together! Yum!
Double bubble gum, I have always loved it, and I stash it away like a chipmunk!!!
My would probably be candy corn!
Snickers or anything chocolate! Thx for the giveaway!!!
I just cant seem to ever get enough almond joy! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love twix and starburst. We love Halloween! We have never been to Boo at the Zoo and it looks like a lot of fun! Thanks so much posting this giveaway! 🙂
I am an absolute sucker for watermelon dum dums!!! I will sift through mounds of candy in hopes of finding just one!!!ever since my son was a baby he has enjoyed the Audubon Zoo! We love to spend our visits watching the elephants in hopes if getting close enough to touch one. We’ve never been to Boo at the Zoo but would LOVE the chance to go this year!!!
I love, love snickers. No matter where I’m at, I have got to take one. I usually set aside all the ones my now 4-yr old gets every yr. I do give him some of course. He would deff enjoy these tickets if we win them. Loves Halloween! He’ll be Spider-Man this yr and he’s sooo excited. Brings me joy just to watch his fun and excitement.
Thank you
I like kit kats, twix and 3 muskateers. I’ve also grown to love candy corn, didn’t care for it much when I was younger. I would love to take my 3 year old to boo at the zoo, we have never been to it, but he loves going to the zoo. I know he would really enjoy this!!
