For two unmissable weeks this October, the zoo will be filled with giant pumpkins, mythical tales and seasonal surprises.

Look out for our giant pumpkin sculptures, join in with campfire stories, and enjoy autumn flavours along the way. It’s a Halloween experience you won’t find anywhere else - and it’s all free with zoo admission.
