Halloween at Bristol Zoo Gardens

Bristol Zoo’s witch in residence Ninny Noo is casting spells and needs the help of young wizards and witches this Halloween. She’ll lead you to the secret potion and introduce some of the night- and fright-time creatures that live at the Zoo. The Witchy Wander is sometimes scary… sometimes hairy…but always funny and has a yummy cauldron treat at the end.
This new interactive trail will run three times a day.

The Wonderful Witch’s Spell Fri 24 October – Wed 5 November

Follow the special Halloween recipe card that leads you to the night- and fright-time creatures of the Zoo. Explore and discover the clues to give you the ingredients for the witch’s potion. Complete the spell and win a cauldron treat.
