A reminder that the The Assiniboine Park Conservancy has cancelled Boo at the Zoo. After a 17 season run, a combination of factors has led the conservancy to cancel the event and it will not be returning in 2013.
Due to construction of the Arctic-themed Journey to Churchill exhibit, the exhibit had to be moved to the south-end of the Zoo. Hosting the event in the south-end increased costs dramatically due to the lack of infrastructure and amenities. The early winter weather in October also contributed to a serious drop in attendance. 18,000 fewer people attended back in 2012.
