Swap Your Halloween Costumes At OKC Zoo This Saturday

The Oklahoma City Zoo wants to help parents save money this Halloween.

This Saturday is the fourth annual "Costume Swap and Pumpkin Drop." Instead of throwing old costumes away, you can exchange them for new ones. Zoo officials need sizes for infants all the way up to youth extra large.

“When they come, then how many costumes they swap, we give them a ticket for each of those costumes, then they can shop and look at the new sizes and the new costumes that are out and swap for one of those," Carrie Allen said.

There will also be a pet costume swap this year, but the zoo asks you keep your furry friends at home. Also, if you bring a pumpkin larger than your head, you can get into the zoo for free.

The zoo uses those pumpkins to decorate for "Haunt the Zoo." The costume swap takes place Saturday, rain or shine, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Pumpkins will be accepted through October 11.
