Halloween Events at Dartmoor Zoo
Towards the end of October each year, something spooky descends over Dartmoor Zoo. So spooky, in fact, even our mighty Amur Tiger, Dragan, thinks twice before venturing out of his den at night.
But what is the spookiness unfolding at Dartmoor Zoo this year? On Friday 24th and Saturday 25th October, a frightening Night of the Dead survival challenge will take place as those brave enough embark on an immersive after-dark, monster-riddled experience, to decrypt clues and navigate to the safety of Base Camp where prizes and tasty supplies await.
The only question is… will you and your fellow survivors make it out alive?!
