Follow spooky signage from the Zoo entrance to the main event hub (throughout the learning hub and river room) to get stuck in with our Halloween activities.
Our Boo at the Zoo event will run throughout half term week (21-29 October) with certain activities extending until 31 October. All activities are free with Zoo entry unless otherwise stated. Members and under 3s go free.
Gold members and Fellows, watch out for an extra spooky quiz! Your little ones can further test their knowledge of unseen animals, and collect a sticker on completion of the quiz. Simply show your membership card to a team member at the main event hub for added spine-tingling fun!
*Extra charges apply.
