Yo Gabba Gabba comes to the BOK Saturday.
It's a packed week, beginning with Halloween and ending with Reba.
If you're looking for a fun, kid-friendly outing, make it a Yo Gabba Gabba day Saturday, beginning with Joe Momma's Book Club and ending with a live Yo Gabba Gabba performance at the BOK.
Monday: HallowZOOeenTrick-or-treating isn't what it used to be. Some neighborhoods are the exception, but often on Halloween, every other porch light is turned off, an instant indicator that you won't find any Butterfingers or Nerds at these houses.
You could skip the neighborhood treats and head for the zoo instead. HallowZOOeen features a haunted train ride, royal castle and loads of candy for trick-or-treating around the zoo.
When: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Where: Tulsa Zoo, 6421 E. 36th St. North
