23 - 30 Oct 2021

FREE

Family Friendly

Come along to the Animal Education Centre and take part in a variety of crafts and activities during the Half-Term holidays.

Paint your own bat box! You can paint a pre-made bat box which you can then take home and put up to help the local bats have a home for winter. Only £4.50 per bat box.

Paint your own bat decoration! Paint a bat decoration and have it ready in time to put up at home for Halloween. Only £2.50 per decoration.

While you’re waiting for your bat boxes and decorations to dry, why not take part in our spooky bat trail and word search which will be around the Animal Education Centre. Pick up your trail sheet at the zoo grounds entry/exit gate.

And if that isn’t enough, our friends from the Holderness Hedgehog Hospital will be visiting us so you can find out more about how amazing hedgehogs are!
