It's that time of year again, Halloween returns to Dartmoor Zoo for 2024 and BOO at the Zoo is back! 

For two nights only this Halloween season, Dartmoor Zoo is opening its gates after dark and you're invited to join in on what will be a truly FANG-tastic night at the zoo! 

Visit Dartmoor Zoo on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th of October 2024 for two frightfully good nights filled with shock horrors, hair-raising delights and nail-biting frights. 

Listen out for rustling amongst the trees and peeping eyes as you make your way around the Zoo, meeting characters of the strange, unsavoury and nightmarish kind on your travels…

BOO at the Zoo is suitable for families, although there will be clearly-marked advisories for areas that are not suitable for young children. 

We SCARE you to come! 

Please note: Gates open at 5:30pm and event closes at 8:30pm.
