Family friendly Halloween-themed activities return to ZSL London Zoo this half term (19-27 October 2019). Celebrating the more gruesome side of nature, it’s the perfect thing to do for Halloween in London with your little monsters.
Creep onto one of our ‘Grim Keeper’ tours*, included as part of your ticket, and explore what happens when nature gets gruesome. You can even expect a few beastly challenges along the way – if you’re feeling brave! (recommended age 8+).
All around the Zoo the animals – from mischievous monkeys to slithering snakes – will be getting into the Halloween spirit with pumpkins filled with tasty treats to forage. Plus, join them at select animal talks and demonstrations, featuring seasonal surprises.
As well as paying a visit to your favourite Halloween animals like bats, spiders, snakes, beetles and owls, there’s a whole host of spooky treats to enjoy. Go and experience spook-tacular family fun at the Zoo this half term with these top ten Halloween activities:
