October half term at Dudley Zoo
Join us this October half-term at Dudley Zoo for some spooky shenanigans!
New for 2025, we bring you ‘Haunted Hunters’ a fangtastic bird of prey display in the eerie undercroft of the 11th century castle.
Elsewhere on site, visitors will be urged to turn detective to help solve a terrible crime as they navigate clues around the zoo’s 40-acres for the chance to win an animal adoption of their choice.
Hop on board the ghost train up to Castle Creatures to see creepy critters including bats and rats and take part in Halloween crafts or head to the Discovery Centre to help identify a collection of donated animal skulls and skeletons.
And with castle history and ghost talks running each day visitors can find out more about those who once lived within the castle’s walls – which is reported to be one of the most haunted places in the UK.
Plus, we’re encouraging guests to don their best Halloween fancy dress as our zoo keepers will be giving away spot prizes each day for the best spooky costumes, including trick-or-treat goodie bags, family tickets and discounted vouchers for the zoo shop.
With lots of new Halloween-themed activities and more than 160 amazing animal species to discover, we’ve got plenty to keep the family busy this half term.
And don’t forget our kids go free ticket offer, which continues to run throughout the holidays, enabling up to two children free entry with every full-paying adult ticket pre-booked online, which means visiting DZC this autumn is spooktacular value!
To claim the kids go free offer, tickets must be purchased in advance HERE.
