Boo at the Zoo - Marwell Zoo

Enjoy plenty of Halloween treats on your family day out at Marwell Zoo this October half-term! The zoo embraces everything autumnal this spooky season.

Marwell’s resident wizard will be teaching little ghouls, ghosts and witches how to fly a broomstick like a pro in the 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, face painters will be on hand to transform your little pumpkins on the day.

Face painting will be available from 11am to 3pm at an additional cost of £5 per face and broomstick flying runs from 10.45am to 3.15pm and costs £3 per child.

If Marwell Zoo’s flying course doesn’t get you warmed up enough, their 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.

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. Moreover, Marwell is home to several spooky species including vampire crabs, pink salmon tarantula, yellow throated frogs and royal pythons – perfect for Halloween! Plus, meet Marwell’s adorable new giraffe calf and zebra foal, penguins, tamarins, pygmy hippos and white rhino.
