New Halloween Event at Cincinnati Zoo

[disco2000]

Separate ticketed event with zoo members getting $3 off the $25 cost.

Thoughts???

This looks to be a neat event but I think the price is steep specially if your a member of the zoo

This looks to be a nice addition, more family friendly than KI Haunt...maybe with this KI can go back to a more scary version of Haunt instead of doing the current version of Haunt in the thought of Charlie Brown's Spooky Halloween Spectacular. 

With the loss of Zombezi Bay at the Columbus Zoo, maybe they can do something similar there.

Too much. The discount needs to be more than 3 bucks off for members. At least 50%. Will be interesting to see how well this sells and if we see some “pack the house for word of mouth” deeper discounts for members

Looks like an interesting event, and I'd assume the cost covers the staff needed, but it's too much, even for members (my sister and her husband are members and it would cost them over $50 to go with their two kids). If it gets you access to all the standard zoo exhibits (like what you can do during Festival of Lights), it might be worth it to some, but I don't see this being very popular at those prices.
