This Halloween bring a pumpkin to the park. Carve out a spooky face and then watch pumpkins being fed to your favourite animal!
Our ‘Master Carver’ is on hand to give children handy tips on how to carve a pumpkin. As animals come in all shapes and sizes, small and large pumpkins are all welcome. Pumpkins are available to buy in the park but stocks are limited so it's a good idea to bring your own.
Some animals, like the meerkats and monkeys, are likely to sniff, roll around with and eat the pumpkins. Whilst others, like the Amur tigers may decide to tear them apart and smash them up! Children can also meet the animal keepers and find out why these holiday treats are important forms of enrichment for the animals.
Marwell’s Halloween Festival is FREE with normal park entry, starts on Saturday 24 October and runs until Sunday 1 November. Other spooky treats in store around the park include creepy critter encounters, spooky ghost stories and freaky face painting. Halloween inspired food will also be available. Standard park entry fees apply.
Here is a full schedule of animal feeds during half term.
