50% off for kids in costume - unlock your discount code below!

Discover a fantastical world of Myths and Legends at Bristol Zoo Project this Halloween (25 Oct – 3 Nov).

Follow the Myths and Legends trail around the zoo to discover fun animal myths and your animal personality – are you a free spirit like a wolf or cheeky like a wolverine?

Tiptoe through the lemur walkthrough and watch out for the spirited lemurs – will they cross your path or swing above your head? Spot real wolves and enjoy fascinating myth-busting talks led by our animal experts.

The return of our popular interactive biofacts experience, in the Lodge of Legends, gives you the chance to see and touch real animal artefacts, from skulls to skins, and learn all about animals and their connection to mythical creatures!

Step inside the Cauldron of Creation where a ‘trick and treat’ surprise awaits! Will you dare to reach inside the mystery box? Plus, join in our fun art activities where you can create your very own mythical beast!

Howl-oween Art Special!

Join us on 31 October for a spook-tacular art session led by the creative team at Let’s Make Art! Create your very own ceramic tile – will it be a bird, mammal, insect or your own mythical creature?

During the session we will explore what endangered means and how art can be used as an important tool to illustrate ideas and notions.

The sessions are free for visitors. Drop in anytime between 11am – 2pm.

Dress up as your favourite mythical character, or Halloween favourite – kids in fancy dress get 50% off!*

Don’t forget to strike your scariest pose amongst the colourful pumpkin patch for an epic photo!

There’s a small sweet treat for everyone who completes the trail.

With endless fun for the whole family, make this Halloween your best yet!

What to expect from your visit...

An unforgettable day out

Dive in to feel-good family fun discovering amazing animals from around the world. Get face to face with giraffes on the raised walkway, watch cheetahs prowl and meet lemurs in the walkthrough, with no barriers between you and the animals!

Wildlife and nature

Our zoo is designed with nature and our animals’ welfare in mind. Discover large, enriching habitats for our animals and explore woodland paths teeming with native British wildlife.

Space to play

Find places to play as you explore the zoo, including the brand new Explorers Basecamp and the much-loved Barefoot Trail — a treat for toes of any age! Tower Meadow offers acres to roam, perfect for picnics and play.

Tasty treats

Tuck in to stone-baked pizzas oozing with cheese, fresh sandwiches, gooey brownies and crumbly cookies and cakes. Treat yourselves to an ice cream from local supplier Marshfield Farm – will it be decadent chocolate, heavenly honeycomb or succulent strawberry?
