Ticket desks close and last entry is at 4pm, including for visitors who already have a ticket or pass. The costume discount also ends at 4pm.

Can kids bring toy weapons or noisy props?

Toy guns aren't allowed inside. The zoo's rules also ban whistles, noisemakers, firecrackers and helium balloons, so leave the loud parts of a costume at home.

Do kids under 3 need a ticket?

They get in free, but still need a ticket. Children's tickets (3 to 12) are €17 and adults (13 and over) pay €22.

Yes. The bravest kids can pick up a few sweets near the activity points around the zoo.

Tales from age 4: the spooky stories near the vultures are recommended from 4, so toddlers can head to the face painting instead.

About

For one Halloween day, the Paris Zoological Park in the Bois de Vincennes fills with fantastic creatures who wander between the animal enclosures and pop up to surprise visitors. Kids can get their faces painted to finish a costume, hear spooky tales near the vultures and look at plankton "monsters" under a microscope. Animal feedings and activities get a pumpkin and spider-web twist. It suits families who like dressing up.

Kids from €17, adults €22
