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.
Meet the animals who have shaped London's history. Step into a tour through London’s history, narrated by the animals who once lived here.

Be guided through time, from the Roman era through Medieval London and right up to present day, narrated by the beasts themselves.
Children can get a taste of life behind the scenes of the Zoo in a fun-packed, role-playing experience over the summer holidays - Zoo It Yourself!
To celebrate the opening of our brand new Animal Adventure play zone (open 31 July), which includes a mini climbing wall, Splash Zone, and of course amazing animals, we’re giving junior animal lovers the chance to get a taste of life behind the scenes and get hands-on, exploring what it takes to build a new exhibit.
Running through the summer holidays, from 24 July - 1 September 2019, kids can join the works crew to help build the enclosure by flattening the ground using a ride on digger, drilling, and solving drain pipe connecting puzzles.
Then, when the exhibit has been built, they can join the gardening team to carefully choose the right plants, flowers and herbs to create a perfect natural space for the animals to move into.
And of course once the space is ready it’s time for the animals to arrive! New Zoo recruits will help our veterinary team carry out health checks on soft toy animals to make sure they are fit and well before they move in.
The new animals are now all set to enjoy their new home. But first, little keepers need to prepare their food, do one last clean up and make sure they have plenty of enrichment in place to keep them happy and stimulated.
Zoo It Yourself is recommended for children aged 4-10 years old and is included in the Zoo’s entry price. Sessions will run from 11am - 5pm. There's no need to book a session in advance, simply turn up on the day.
Join Paradise Wildlife Park for an incredible fundraising evening. Paradise will be hosting their annual Summer Ball 2019 in aid of wildlife & conservation on Saturday 29th June.
An evening of good food, good friends, good wine and brilliant entertainment! The perfect night out with friends, family or colleagues.
As the sun goes down, the curtain goes up on the most original after-hours event of the summer.
This February half-term, kids will be able to truly step into the role of a vet at ZSL London Zoo, during a week of interactive family events celebrating the incredible work of the Zoo’s vet team.
This winter, The Royal Parks has teamed up with Operation Centaur to offer a six-person carriage ride through Richmond Park, drawn by our majestic Shire Horses. This magical experience will allow you to experience this beautiful park like never before.

Get set for the wildest comedy event of the year
Roar with Laughter - Eventim Apollo, Friday 18 November 2016
It’s time to prepare for an evening of wild entertainment as ZSL’s Roar with Laughter returns to the Eventim Apollo on Friday 18 November.
Back for its fifth year at the iconic London venue, comedy show Roar with Laughter will be an evening of hilarity featuring some of the country’s top comedians, who will be raising a giggle and vital funds for the Zoological Society of London’s (ZSL) work for wildlife around the world.
Star performers Dara O’Briain, Seann Walsh, Alan Davies, Aisling Bea, Kevin Eldon and brand new host Rob Deering* will have the audience hooting all evening with their quick-wit and hilarious sketches.
James Wren, Fundraising Director at ZSL, said: “We’re so excited for this year’s Roar with Laughter. The performers are brilliant, and we’re thrilled they are joining us in standing up for wildlife.
“With animals around the world facing unprecedented threats to their survival, Roar with Laughter will help us to raise vital funds and awareness for a cause that’s sadly anything but funny. By simply purchasing a ticket, those looking for a laugh will help us to make a difference.
“Whether you howl, roar or snort, get your best chuckle ready for an evening sure to have you rolling in the aisles.”
Iconic species including elephants, rhinos and tigers face threats from the illegal wildlife trade, habitat destruction and climate change, and urgent action is needed to ensure their survival. Conservation charity ZSL is working in more than 50 countries to tackle these threats and protect animals to safeguard a future #WithWildlife.
Roar with Laughter will take place at the Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, on Friday 18 November, doors open at 7.00pm and the show will charge into action at 8.00pm.
