This time of year, zoos in colder locations tend to shut down for the winter season.  One way they continue to make money to feed the animals is by hosting a local trick or treating event.  The Binder Park Zoo In Battle Creek MI is one example.  If you’re worried about the kids getting lots of candy, this might not be for you.  But if you’re looking for a great way to spend some family time, while helping raise money to care for the animals over winter- this event is an annual favorite!
