Boo Bayou is back! Join us at Vermilionville for a fun fall festival for the family!
There will be plenty to keep your squad busy including old-time games, face painting, and more! We`ll have a coloring station and trick-or-treating throughout our historic village.
We'll also be showing some great kid-friendly spooooky films in our Performance Center, where you can pick up a fresh bag of popcorn.
In our cooking school, kids can grab bags to decorate their own Halloween treats!
In the restaurant, we`ve got a spook-tacular menu lined up to match the spirit of the day. And of course, kids and adults alike are welcome to transform themselves into whomever they would like to be for the event. Make memories with your family and enjoy great photo opportunities at our Fall Photo Station (costumes are encouraged, not mandatory...but there might be an extra piece of candy in it for you!)
Admission is $5 for ages 2 and older. You do not want to miss one of the most exciting events of the year! For more information, please call 337-233-4077.
