FIENDISHLY FUN HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR AT BLACKPOOL ZOO!
Children will be bewitched by the spooktacular array of events at Blackpool Zoo during Halloween half term!The entire week will be a fiendishly fun packed celebration of Halloween, with extended opening hours and ghostly gatherings on the big day!
From Saturday 27th October until Sunday 4th November there will be daily activities including a brilliant bat & broomstick quiz trail, pumpkin carving and apple bobbing in the Children’s Farm, ghostly storytelling, Halloween talks and feeds with scary animal facts and special spooky dishes in the Lake View Cafe and Coffee Shop.
Everyone is being urged to really get into the ‘spirit’ of things on the most spine chilling day of the year by coming in scary costumes.
For one day only on Wednesday 31st October there will be a fabulous fancy dress parade following the 2.00pm Sealion display and the winners will be decided by a special clap-o-meter system! The adult and the child that gets the biggest clap will win a family ticket to the zoo.
There will also be trick or treat sweets given out at all the ‘talk and feeds’ sessions and little ghouls and goblins can get their face painted with all kinds of freaky designs!
Opening hours will also be extended to 5.30pm with a ghostly train around the Dinosaur Safari from 4.30pm until 5.00pm and spell binding story telling in the display area from 5.00pm until 5.30pm.
Jude Rothwell, PR and Marketing Co-ordinator at Blackpool Zoo, said: “Halloween is set to be a real scream here at Blackpool Zoo!
“The pumpkin carving is always a firm favourite as the children can fill their creations with treats that are then fed to the animals.
“There really is something for everyone during the half term holiday and we are all looking forward to seeing everyone in fancy dress – including the keepers and staff!”
