Family · Bristol

Half term at the zoo's Hollywood site gets a gentle spook with a Howl-oween trail, a daily "Creatures of the Night" talk and the Den of Darkness — no jump-scares, just bats, owls and nocturnal residents given their seasonal moment.
It's all folded into normal admission, so no extra ticket to juggle on top of a full day exploring Bear Wood and the walk-through habitats.
