Halloween is just around the corner, and I love finding fun things to do right here in Ocean County.

If you're looking for a Halloween celebration that brings together animals, families, and our community, you'll want to check out Boo at the Refuge at Popcorn Park Zoo in Forked River.

This two-day Halloween celebration is all about having a great time while enjoying the animals and everything the Refuge has to offer. We're talking trick-or-treating, crafts, games, animal education, and plenty of Halloween fun for everyone!
