Enjoy a Spooktacular Halloween at WWT Slimbridge
Fiendish fun is in store for little explorers during October half term at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre.
The Slimbridge Spooktacular (October 22 to November 1) includes all the fun of a normal day out at Slimbridge with lots of extra Halloween-themed activities.
Highlights of the Spooktacular include:
• Searching for the missing pumpkins hiding in WWT Slimbridge’s grounds. You can hand feed the friendly ducks you meet on your adventure.
• Watching the otters Flo, Minnie and Haha enjoying eating special treats out of carved pumpkins. They love to play with the pumpkin shells in and out the water!
• Visiting the Weirdly Wild tent to have a go at dissecting owl pellets, it’s fascinating what you’ll find. Then watch footage of animals filmed on camera traps at Slimbridge at night before going out with a warden to look for signs of them in the light including footprints and poo!
• Joining the wizard for a show and tell session with his amphibian pets. Frogs and salamanders have long being associated with magic and mystery.
• Arriving in fancy dress on the final weekend to really get in the spirit and take a scarecrow selfie with your family
• Carving a pumpkin during your visit or have your face painted (small extra charge).
Sally Munro, Marketing Manager, said: “We have pulled out all the stops this year to offer a fantastic Halloween experience at the Slimbridge Spooktacular.
“We hope to welcome lots of visitors in fancy dress on the final weekend.
“It’s a wonderful time of year to visit with the autumnal colours and the birds returning from their migration.”
