WHAT: 2012-10-18 — /travelprnews.com/ — Tickets are on sale now for Cobwebs and Cocktails presented by Groupon at Zoo Atlanta, Saturday, October 27 at 7 p.m. The event will be the first adult Halloween celebration hosted at the Zoo in more than 10 years.

Adventurous costumed guests are invited to navigate a Zoo path overrun by The Bitten, skirting a secret spring inhabited by an ancient darkness as they attempt to locate the evening’s resident lurker – a giant venomous spider transformed by a powerful curse – before partying in The Spider’s Lair. The festivities will continue in a web-shrouded world of live entertainment, nocturnal animal encounters, and Halloween fun for partygoers 21 and up.

Tickets will be available on Groupon.com through October 21, 2012. Tickets include Zoo admission, two complimentary drink tickets, and a chance to brave the wildest outbreak of the year.

Single tickets are $45 or two for $80. Limit five tickets per purchase. Cobwebs and Cocktails is open to guests 21 and up only; guests under 21 will not be  admitted.
