Edinburgh Zoo Spooktacular has now ended for the season. Keep an eye on our website for more exciting events coming soon.

This Halloween, Edinburgh Zoo is opening its gates after dark to invite you on a family friendly spooktacular trail through the zoo.

On selected dates from Friday 8 until Sunday 31 October, we’re celebrating all things Halloween for the first time with a magical illuminated trail.

Listen out for a rustling amongst the trees and peeping eyes as you make your way through the park, meeting lots of different characters on the way.

From witches and wizards, to scarecrows and spiders... we scare you to come!

Safety Measures - Covid-19  

We want visitors to enjoy themselves at the zoo which means safety comes first, and it is important everyone follows the government guidance to protect themselves and others.  

There are a wide range of safety measures in place to protect you, our staff, and our animals. We have reduced the capacity of each time slot, created one-way routes, added hand-sanitising stations and will be asking everyone to wear face coverings in indoor areas.
