How do I get tickets?
Tickets are available at any Audubon facility and online until they sell out. Sold-out nights will be removed from the ticketing system, so please double-check the date of your tickets before you finalize your purchase. You may choose the “print at home” option to have your tickets e-mailed to you or the Will Call option to pick up your tickets at an Audubon facility front gate. Tickets cannot be mailed.

If I choose to have my tickets placed at Will Call, when and where can I get my tickets?
When you purchase tickets online and choose the Will Call option, you will receive an e-mail with a confirmation number. Bring the confirmation number to a ticket window at any Audubon facility front gate during normal operating hours to pick up your tickets. You may also pick up your tickets at the Zoo front gate the night of the event.

What should I do if I lose my ticket?
If you chose the “print at home” option, you can reprint the ticket from the e-mail that was sent to you, but each ticket has a unique barcode and is only valid for one use. Once a ticket is scanned upon entrance, any duplicates will be void and admission will be denied. If you picked up your online ticket order at Will Call, you can have your order looked up with your confirmation at the front gate of any Audubon facility and have your tickets reprinted, however, the original tickets will then be voided and invalid for admission.

Am I allowed to bring in food and/or beverages?
No ice chests or outside food or beverages are allowed except for baby food/formula. Delicious food from local vendors and Audubon will be available for purchase at the event. Beverages, including child-friendly and adult-friendly, will also be available for purchase.

Can I bring a wagon?
Yes. Wagons, strollers, and wheelchairs are welcome. Guest are encouraged to bring their own.

Are wheelchairs and strollers available for rent?
Wheelchairs and strollers are not available for rent during Boo at the Zoo.

Do Audubon members receive a discount on tickets?
Boo at the Zoo is a fundraiser benefitting Children’s Hospital New Orleans and Audubon Zoo. No ticket discounts are offered.

I can't make it for the night I purchased tickets. Can I switch them for another night?
Tickets will be honored ONLY for the night purchased. If you are unable to use your ticket, you should consider your purchase a contribution to our missions — there will be no refunds. Tickets are transferable to another party for the same night (not another night), if you’d like to give or sell your tickets to another person and purchase tickets for another night if tickets are still available.
