Boo at the Zoo! – Halloween at Marwell Zoo

Activity Description

There will be plenty of treats at Marwell Zoo this October half-term as we embrace everything autumnal this spooky season.

Lowedolf, Marwell’s resident wizard will be teaching little ghouls, ghosts and witches how to fly a broomstick like a pro in our dedicated broomstick flying area.

Children will be taught in groups of 15 and those who successfully complete the course will be awarded with their level one broomstick flying badge.

Don’t worry if you don’t have time to sort a costume before you arrive, our face painters will be on hand to transform your little pumpkins on the day.

Facepainting will be available from 11am to 3pm at an additional cost of £5 per face and broomstick flying runs from 10:45am to 3:15pmand costs £3 per child.

If our flying course doesn’t get you warmed up enough, our firepits will be up and running with marshmallows and s’mores kits available – additional cost applies.

Café Graze will be keeping everyone well-fuelled with pumpkin spiced lattes, Halloween cupcakes and pumpkin soup.

Plus, guests can still take advantage of our five for £85 family ticket offer up until 3 November. Full terms and conditions are available on the website.

Autumn is a beautiful time to get outdoors and admire the changing colours of Marwell’s 140 acre parkland while learning more about more than 140 species of rare and endangered animals.

Marwell is home to a number of spooky species including vampire crabs, pink salmon tarantula, yellow throated frogs and royal pythons.

Plus, meet our adorable new giraffe calf and zebra foal, penguins, tamarins, pygmy hippos and white rhino.

We recommend downloading the free Marwell Zoo app before you visit so that you can see when our animals are going to be fed.

The app also has an interactive map and tools to help plan your day and gives lots of extra animal facts and information.

Don’t forget, every visit to the zoo helps support our conservation work, both in the UK and around the world and helps care for our resident animals.
