Halloween at the Zoo

Paignton Zoo is going bigger…better…and spookier than ever before this October half term!


Graphic image of zebra print stage curtains being opened by two skeleton hands, with Sayang the tiger's tail poking out between them, a pumpkins face in the background, and text saying something spooky is opening this october in orange and yellow in front.

Get ready for Paignton BOO!

Discover a brand-new Halloween event for the whole family this half-term at Paignton Boo…

Join our Zombie Zookeeper on a spine-chilling search for his best friend, Sayang, who’s mysteriously vanished – and he suspects Vinnie the Vampire is to blame! You’ll set off on a wild journey throughout the zoo, encountering spooky characters and chilling clues along the way, ending with a haunting, interactive show that’s sure to have you on the edge of your seat. Can you find Sayang before it’s too late…?
