A voice-over artist and storyteller will spin scary tales during special Halloween shows Saturday and Sunday.
Ann Stoeker, head coordinator of the Simi Valley Library Story Time program, will treat zoo visitors with frightening stories at 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. Saturday, including a Halloween favorite, “The Ghost-Eye Tree.”
Voice-over artist Steve Blum from the television program “Xena: Warrior Princess” will entertain zoo visitors at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
The zoo is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays with wildlife education shows at noon, 1, 2 and 3 p.m. Admission is $4 for adults, $3 for children under 12 and free for children under 2.
