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 Spooktacular! returns with a new series of family-friendly frights. Follow along our trail and meet some weird and wonderful characters along the way. We SCARE you to come and brave our illuminated trail from Friday 7 – Monday 31 October.  

From pirates and skeletons to creepy crawlies and ghosts, there’s plenty to get you into the Halloween spirit, as well as themed food and drink kiosks throughout. Our animals will be in bed, but there's still plenty to see!

Please note: this will be our last trail of the year, with only daytime events and evening grotto experiences planned for Christmas – so be sure to make the most of this unique opportunity to explore the zoo at night 👻
