Get ready for a WILD weekend!

23 October 2024

As Halloween approaches, we’re brewing up some fang-tastic fun for all our visitors! Join us this weekend for a frightfully delightful experience on Saturday and Sunday as part of our HalloWILD event. We’ve lined up a thrilling array of activities that promise to entertain and educate the whole family, but one event is sure to steal the show: our Halloween Fancy Dress Competition!

Halloween Fancy Dress Competition
Put on your spookiest, silliest, or most creative costume for our Halloween fancy dress competition at 2 pm in the safari marquee on the 26th and 27th! We’ll have three age categories to ensure everyone has a chance to shine:

  • 0-5 years
  • 5-10 years
  • 10+ years

Prizes for our top three winners include:

  • 1st Place: A Family Pass to enjoy a future visit to the park!
  • 2nd Place: A £30 gift card to treat yourself at our gift shop!
  • 3rd Place: A cuddly soft toy to take home!

Plus, every participant will receive a token for an amusement ride, ensuring everyone leaves with a little something special! We can’t wait to see your creative outfits, so get ready to impress!

Our Education team will also have a range of fun and interactive activities set up outside the sea lion building:

Skull ID Challenge
Can you guess which species each skull belongs to? It’s a fun way to learn about the incredible diversity of wildlife.

Bats Galore!
Discover the fascinating world of bats! Learn about these amazing flying mammals, explore their calls, and even try your hand at making your own origami bat.

What Colour is Blood?
Can you match the colour of the blood with the animal and their protein?

Graveyard Tombstones
Don’t miss our graveyard tombstones, where we highlight extinct and critically endangered species. This poignant display will remind us all why conservation is so crucial for protecting our planet’s biodiversity.

Ghosts of Madagascar
Ever wondered which species in the Park means ‘ghost’ or ‘nocturnal spirit’? Come and find out in our Ghosts of Madagascar activity, where you’ll learn about these intriguing creatures and their unique adaptations.

(Mini) Beasts of Blair Drummond
Join us in exploring the incredible invertebrates that call Blair Drummond home! You can even make your own pine cone spider to take home as a spooky keepsake.

This Halloween weekend promises to be a blast filled with fun, learning, and a sprinkle of magic. Whether you’re here to challenge your knowledge or just to enjoy the festivities, we can’t wait to celebrate with you. See you at the park for a weekend full of ghoulishly good fun.
