We have plenty of treats (no tricks) in store this October. There’ll be lots of freaky theming throughout the park including photo op areas, haunted hay bales and our side stalls receiving a spooky makeover – and tasty treats from our catering team such as pumpkin spiced lattes and frightful fudge. Our scary scarecrow prize trails are also back for October too. Just pick up your prize trail form from admissions when you arrive at the park and have fun spotting the themed scarecrows as you make your way around the park.
Our *VR ride in the fair is also switching it up for October with a ‘Haunted Hallows Escape’ themed adventure. And of course our classic *Ghost Train in the fair is always bringing the frightful fun!
Events throughout October (04 October – 02 November):
- Scarecrow Trail – pick up a form and spot the clues spread throughout the park!
- Take a spooktacular trip on our *Themed VR Ride – “Haunted Hallows Escape”
- Meet Meep the Sheep, our lovable costume character who’ll be making an appearance or two (he’s got his Halloween outfit ready)!
- Halloween themed Photo-op in the Jolly Barn and outside Cwtch Coffee
- Spot the haunted hay bales from our Landtrain tractor ride
Half term treats (25 October – 02 November only):
- A treat from the admissions team for any young witch or wizard who arrives at the park in fancy dress. So dust off those brooms or get your ghost outfit on!
- Creepy creature time in our barn. It’s not just the ‘spooky sheep’ or ‘frightful ferrets’ at our meet and greet sessions this week. You may be (un)lucky enough to meet a more creepy creature or two. Just look out for the daily timetable at the barn entrance for more details and timings.
- ‘Venoms Vs Poisons‘ themed zoo talks taking place daily throughout October half term week at 12pm. Talks will be held in the Tropical Trails exhibit rather than the Venoms VS Poisons exhibit, in case of poor weather.
- Look out for our Entertainments team who’ll be getting into the spirit as Spooky Scarecrows. There’ll also be Halloween themed glitter *tattoos available just outside the theatre in the Vintage Fairground between 1.30pm – 3.00pm.
- Not forgetting Meep the Sheep, our lovable costume character who’ll be making an appearance or two (he’s got his Halloween outfit ready)!
- Take part in our brand new Poo in the Zoo trail (it’s educational, honest!) plus our new *Poo workshops too!
- Themed daily card hunt
- …plus lots more!
*Additional charge applies. VR ride is two tokens per person and the Ghost Train is one token per person…or you can use your ‘ride all day wristband’. Height restrictions can be found online or on park signage. Glitter tattoos are £5 each (or two for £8). Please also note that the poo workshops are a charged for activity with money going to our conservation partners helping protect animals in the wild. Pre-booking is required (details, times and prices to be released soon).
So plenty of spooktacular fun for the whole family! We can’t wait to scare you- I mean, see you soon.
Halloween is an exciting time of year for our animals too. They love a pumpkin puzzle feeder as an enrichment activity to keep them entertained as they forage for their food as they would in the wild.
