‘Kids Go Free’ at Paignton Zoo for October Half Term

Paignton Zoo has announced a very special offer for the upcoming October half term: ‘Kids Go Free’. Starting from 19 October, for every full-price adult ticket purchased, two children will receive free entry. This offer will run for two weeks, providing families with an affordable and enjoyable visit to the zoo.

Following the success of a similar promotion during the summer of 2023, Paignton Zoo is excited to bring back this popular offer. Visitors can look forward to a variety of engaging activities and events. Halloween-themed ranger talks and activities will provide educational and entertaining sessions with a spooky twist. Guests will also have the opportunity to see animals enjoying seasonal treats and capture memorable moments with autumnal themed animal enrichment and photo opportunities. Additionally, back by popular demand, the miniature train from Plym Valley will make a return, offering nostalgic rides along the Lakeside.

Susanne Halliday, Head of Visitor Services, commented:

“We are thrilled to offer the ‘Kids Go Free’ promotion again this October half term. It’s a fantastic opportunity for families to enjoy a day out at the zoo, with plenty of spooky activities and events planned to celebrate Halloween.”

In addition to the half term festivities, Paignton Zoo has also announced its upcoming Christmas Event. This year, Santa’s Grotto will return, with tickets are now available for purchase online. The ‘Christmas at the Zoo’ event will feature traditional mince pies and mulled cider available in the restaurant, with live music performances on weekends. Children can enjoy engaging storytelling sessions by Mrs. Claus, and families can participate in festive themed activities in the Sunbird Room, including bauble decorating and other holiday crafts.

Steph Dawson, Events Co-ordinator for Paignton Zoo, added:

“Our Christmas event is always a highlight of the year. We are excited to welcome families to enjoy the festive atmosphere, with activities and treats for all ages.”
