Trick or Treat

The gates to Animal World’s mysterious Family Manor are opening for one unforgettable night.

Strange creatures have escaped!

Wednesday has hidden clues and Thing needs your help to complete a series of spooktacular challenges. Gather the family, dress for the occasion and prepare to explore Animal World after dark.

Whether you are brave enough to follow Wednesday, clever enough to solve the animal mysteries or simply ready for an evening of fun, the Family Trick-or-Treat Adventure has something waiting around every corner.

Children can collect a Trick-or-Treat Passport and visit treat stations throughout the Zoo, tackle themed games and challenges, brave the Kids’ Spooky House, get creative with craft activities and enjoy the playground.

The entertainment continues with a magic show, character meet-and-greets, music and a photo booth, with photographs available to purchase. Guests aged 10 and older can venture into the Forbidden Forest: The Aftermath – if they dare.

Food, drinks, a beer garden and a sweet stall will be available throughout the evening.

Make your costumes part of the adventure. Come dressed up for a chance to win a prize in one of four categories:

*Best Addams Family Character,

*Best Animal-Inspired Costume,

*Creepiest Creature and

*Best-Dressed Family.

Between the clues, creatures and treats, families can enjoy the Zoo in a completely different atmosphere. Plan your costumes together, bring your sense of adventure and see who is bold enough to complete every challenge before the manor gates close.

Tickets are R140 per adult, including Zoo entry and the Forbidden Forest walk, and R110 per child, including the kids’ games and Trick-or-Treat experience. All children who would like to participate in the activities require a ticket.
