Spooktacular half term

We’re getting ready for a spooktacular Halloween half term here at DZC.

Join us from Saturday October 26 – Sunday November 3 when visitors can help identify our collection of donated animal skulls and skeletons in the Discovery Centre, and view a special exhibition of tarantulas as we aim to bust myths about the creepy critters.

Don’t forget to explore the 11th century Dudley Castle, reported to be one of the most haunted places in the UK and hear more about the ghosts of the past during our daily talks programme, when you can also learn about some of the zoo’s rarest and scariest animals.

Plus, take part in creepy arts and crafts in the farm barn and follow a bat trail around the zoo to discover some of the amazing 200 plus species living across the 40-acre site, for the chance to win an adoption of an animal of your choice.

Zoo manager Matt Lewis said: “We’ve got fun for all the family this half term and with our ­­­­kids go free ticket offer running throughout the holidays, when up to two children can visit for free with every full-paying adult, visiting DZC this autumn is fangtastic value!”

To claim the kids go free offer, tickets must be purchased in advance HERE.
