About

Every fall, Zoo Aquarium de Madrid in Casa de Campo runs a Halloween season. Some animals get their food inside pumpkins, an enrichment trick that makes them work for the treat, and educators give themed talks on the creatures behind spooky legends and the threats they face in the wild. It is about animals, not frights, so it suits animal lovers more than kids chasing scares.

Ages 3-7 from €16.90, 8+ from €19.90 online

2027 dates soon
