🎃🐻 Don't forget about the "spookies" at Bear Hollow Zoo! The entrance and several of the pathways are lined with inflatable Halloween-themed characters, and it's going to be a beautiful day to stop by if you're looking for an afternoon activity.

This volunteer-maintained zoo is home to rehabilitated wildlife including owls, otters, a variety of reptiles, and the local-favorite black bears.
